Yes, with some minor restrictions (there are some Windows-specific functions that you need to avoid, but these are unlikely to be present -- for once, MS made it hard to write Windows specific stuff), but that is exactly the focus of Mono. Neale Ferguson (now with Sine Nomine) did a nice presentation on Mono at Hillgang in March. The slides from that presentation are available online at http://sinenomine.net/vm/hillgang-15-mar-2005, along with some other cool stuff from that meeting. > > I always thought that you needed IIS for .NET. No, you just need some way of deploying the web services containers and the .NET virtual machine interpreter. The nice thing is that people familiar with .NET can deploy to this environment without even knowing it's Linux; it just works. > > am I also correct in saying that DB2-Distributed Services > remain under zOS? Actually, unless I misunderstand what DB/2 Distributed Services does, you don't need DB/2 Distributed Services at all. You use DB/2 Connect to get the data, and the applications logic lives entirely on the Linux side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
