This page [1] seems to indicate that anyone running OpenSimulator on Debian Squeeze (Current Stable Release) would be using* Mono v2.6.7
However, this page [2] seems to indicate that anyone running OpenSimulator on Ubuntu 11.11 or later would be using* Mono 2.10.x [1] http://mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Debian [2] http://www.mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Ubuntu * Note: Unless they manually upgraded.
