Yep:

Read through it, but still don't have a clear picture of how all the piece fit together. For example, while browsing the Mono site, I came across this image of Eclipse running under Mono:

I haven't use Eclipse in a while, but if I recall it's a FLOSS Integrated Development Environment written in Java:
http://www.eclipse.org/
My guess is that Miguel took the Java source, compiled it to byte-code using the Mono w/IKVM libraries, and is running it under the Mono Runtime Environment. But that's just a guess. I'm hoping Edd's book will clarify.
