Apache is an open source HTTP server that can be used instead of IIS. I
can't speak for how feature-compatible Apache is to IIS, but I'm sure it's
pretty close or could be faked. And to be clear, Mono is an open source
implementation of Microsoft's .NET class libraries and runtime. So you can
run the Microsoft stack (IIS + .NET) or you can run an open source stack
(Apache + mod_mono + Mono).
As for .NET applications developed on Windows working with Mono, it is
possible. There are a number of companies making the switch, although YMMV.
Bear in mind that Microsoft defines the rules, writes the code etc,
releases a new version and about then is when the Mono folk find out the
new rules so they can start implementing them.
It is likely a lot of applications depend on new features not yet in
Mono. Its the same problem IBM had running Windows programs on OS/2,
that the WINE people have now, that Fujitsu had with keeping OSIV/F4
with MVS.
Running your own POC in this case is essential.
