Hello all,
Hello Duncan,
Is Mono too difficult to install for people new to Linux? For peopleI'm new to Linux and, yes, it is hard. It was hard installing a clean SuSE box, it's still hard work with the new environment (I come, obviously, from Win) for a thousand reasons and, finally, it is hard to install and configure Mono. I feel myself a skilled user, as a programmer but under Linux I find myseld kinda lost :!
with Linux experience?
I believe the hardest thing about Mono is correctly configure mod_mono, apache & co.
As you said, many developers are trying to move to Mono and so, to Linux. Probably good tutes about the prerequisites would help (eg: I didn't know nothing about "make + make install" before swimming around the Net, and that's like breath for a normal Linux user).. don't know, something like driving directions for the first weeks :) .. or just "for Windows users FAQ", where a Win user can find how to work with basic settings (also an environment variable could cost us half a day trying to understand).
I don't know the technical reasons, but probably if Red Carpet installs also mod_mono that could help a lot.
