I am using Red Carpet, and it's great. The only issue I have is that some dll's don't seem to be included and mono develop isn't included, and I can't seem to build it. I'm hoping that the upcoming releases will have more of the dll's, and that I'll be able to build mono develop. > > > Sorry if this repeated question annoys you.
