Installation of mono is organzid enough I think: simply go to http://www.mono-project.com/Downloads and for fedora, choose a binary or red carpet. It's a bit different from distribution to distribution.

On my second system (Ubuntu), I don't even try to install development versions as I don't need them for only f-spot and muine ;) > This was the worst installation experience I had in years.

I'm no developper of mono (I'm not good enough in programming yet ;) but I don't think so. As I said earlier, Mono is going to version 1.2, and Monodevelop has to keep up with these releases. I like too see some extra features. Things can stabilize when Mono 1.2 is out.... I work with the svn version of MD and this works pretty well for me. Can't recommend it for a production release yet ;), but I like code-completion and some other features. > Sorry to say all that, but it's my honest opinion. > np, but remember: the mono world is changing continuously... Once there is a stable 1.2 release (or maybe 2.0), a stable release of the debugger with integration in MD and integration of a gui builder (stetic) in MD, RAD development with mono can begin :) For the time, you can just use gvim with glade :p I think mono (and MD, debugger, stetic...)-devs are doing some nice work!
