If that's the issue, then perhaps the OP should look into the commercial support that Novell offers for Mono (http://mono-project.com/FAQ:_General#The_Novell_Role_in_the_Mono_Project) I am aware of one very large site (not naming names, but Facebook is handing their ass to them) that was on the verge of migrating to a highly optimized Mono stack before corporate politics submarined the project. > Mono can be the fastest thing on earth if setup right, but without a > solid résumé it'll be a hard sell.. I can understand that, but it misses the biggest asset I think Mono as a framework provides: flexibility. If you develop atop Mono you cna bring in a large amount of stuff "for free" and then if (god forbid) it's not working out for you in production you can: * fix it * get Novell support to fix it * buy licenses from Microsoft and try their stack to see if it fixes it Cheers, -R.
