Hi there, Mono is the .NET development framework and the .NET runtime and all associated tools. But also note that a given application might need .NET runtime, but this doesn't mean that all of it is written in .NET. For example, a windows app can use MFC and only a few portions of it could be using the .NET runtime. If the whole application is written in .NET and doesn't depend on Windows-based libraries used in P/Invoke, it is *highly* possible that the application will work out of the box on Linux with Mono.
