If you're strong with FreeBSD (as far as getting packages working correctly and updating dependencies) it might be a walk in the park for you to get it all configured. As I mentioned, I was able to get it all working on PC-BSD. My endeavor was to test out the cross-platform capability of Mono as well. I was able to stage a working Mono and MonoDevelop on Windows/Mac/Mint (based on Ubuntu)/openSuse/Fedora/PC-BSD (based on FreeBSD). I took an ASP.Net app and a WinForm app that I had written and managed to have them run on all those instances....so it is possible.
Out of all the platforms, Windows/Mac/openSuse were the easiest to get Mono/MonoDevelop up and running. Mint required me to build from source because at the time I was doing it, the repositories available were a revision behind in Mono. Fedora just required finding the correct repositories to get the latest Mono. Foo wrote: > > Thanks Ivan. Perhaps mono is best (and feasible) only on Linux.
