You have a few options.
By far the easiest is "apt-get install mono" and that will get you a
fairly new version of mono. You also don't have to worry if you install
apps in debian that depend on mono using the package manager. There is
also meebeys server at the bottom of the download page. Meebey
maintains the debian mono builds but it takes a while to get a new
release in so meebey host's his server with the latest testing builds.
If you want to have the latest and want to isolate mono to what you are
doing only, then the binary installer is the best way to go for that.
Then you can also build from source. :-)

Subject: [Mono-list] Installing Mono on Debian
To: mono-list@lists.ximian.com
I'm realtively new to Linux and Mono, so please be patient if I ask
something obvious. :]
I'd like to get Mono installed on my Debian Linux box. I'm running the
stable version of Debian Sarge. Should I try to use a Debian package for
Mono, or can I use the installer provided here?:

I'm not sure which is the best way to go. I think I might have problems if I
use the installer and circumvent the Debian Package system. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott Huey
P.S. - I don't have my Linux box wired to the net just yet, so I can't use
apt-get.
