So you already have openSUSE working? What version are you using? Here is the link for Mono 2.4 preview: http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/preview/download-preview/ You need to add one of those repositories (according to the version of opensuse you have) using Yast (how to do it here: http://en.opensuse.org/Add_Package_Repositories_to_YaST) Then in Yast open "Software Management" and search for mono. Install the one that says "mono-complete" David. > Eric > > > > > ________________________________ > From: "David Canar" <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 12:09 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Best OS dist to use? > > On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM, [email protected] > wrote: >> Hello, >> What is the recommended OS + Win Manager to use for Mono & WinForms >> development?
