Thanks! I think some more specific questions would be in order. Can someone just give me the process to create, compile, and execute a "Hello World"? I found documentation on MonoDevelop, but a google of vs.net only turned up http://www.vs.net. Is it a Win or Lin IDE? Where do I find it? And can anyone offer recomendations for an IDE based on their experience or the word on the street? Also, I emerged the Gentoo package, and I see the following binaries: freak root # qpkg --list mono | grep bin /usr/bin /usr/bin/monosn /usr/bin/pedump /usr/bin/monodis /usr/bin/monograph /usr/bin/mint /usr/bin/mono /usr/bin/mcs.exe /usr/bin/mbas.exe /usr/bin/monoresgen.exe /usr/bin/secutil.exe /usr/bin/ilasm.exe /usr/bin/cilc.exe /usr/bin/xsd.exe /usr/bin/wsdl.exe /usr/bin/genxs.exe /usr/bin/sqlsharp.exe /usr/bin/signcode.exe /usr/bin/chktrust.exe /usr/bin/mcs /usr/bin/mbas /usr/bin/ilasm /usr/bin/cilc /usr/bin/monoresgen /usr/bin/secutil /usr/bin/sqlsharp /usr/bin/xsd /usr/bin/wsdl /usr/bin/genxs /usr/bin/chktrust /usr/bin/signcode /usr/bin/jay /usr/bin/mddump.exe /usr/bin/nunit-console.exe /usr/bin/CorCompare.exe /usr/bin/ictool.exe /usr/bin/cert2spc.exe /usr/bin/sn.exe /usr/bin/MakeCert.exe /usr/bin/monostyle.exe /usr/bin/GenerateDelegate.exe /usr/bin/EnumCheck.exe /usr/bin/IFaceDisco.exe freak root # What are the *.exe files and how are they used? And one more general question. Can Mono apps compiled on Linux be used on Windows in the same way that bytecode can be used across platforms with Java?
