I know what most of you are thinking What is Mono? Well...

"Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix. Sponsored by Novell (http://www.novell.com), the Mono open source project has an active and enthusiastic contributing community and is positioned to become the leading choice for development of Linux applications." - http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

What this allows you to do is run programs written in the various languages that are part of the .Net package and run them in a non-Windows environment. I have the link to download the package and I also went step by step on how to install it on any Linux distribution on my website threethirty.us. If anyone would like me to repost that here I have no problem doing so.

Have Fun!
