Hello... I just joined this list, and thought I'd write a brief intro message. Apologies in advance if this is out of line. (I couldn't locate a "list charter")
I'm interested in C# and ASP.NET out of technical curiousity / hacking instinct and also out of desire to keep abreast of technology for the sake of my career. Since I will not likely be able to use .NET in my job in the near future, my plan is to use it instead for development on a web site I manage on a volunteer basis for a non-profit organization. I am hosting the site through "linode.com" which provides me with a Linux VPS (virtual private server), which I'm finding quite exciting since it gives me full control (root access) of my "virtual server" at quite a low cost to the organization. The organization also gives me pretty much a free hand in how I develop the site (one of the advantages of working for free :). I have Debian/woody and apache running on my server (although other distros are possible if I would want to rebuild the server). So I figure Mono is the perfect match between my .NET learning goals and my hosting situation. Since I have root access I can install whatever I want, so why not use "mod-mono" for my server-based processing needs? As of now, my site sticks with straight HTML, although there are definite possibilities for going further. So far I have installed mono using the stable (woody) debian package at http://www.debianplanet.org/mono and succussfully compiled and run a "hello world" console program (yay!). However, I have not yet figured out how to install the apache module "mod-mono" for "woody". (It does not seem to be available at debianplanet). I'd appreciate any assistance on installing mod-mono, as well as any general comments and suggestions regarding my plans, including links to introductory resources such as Howtos and tutorials. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
