Check out Neale's presentation from Hillgang that I posted. It's got some nifty examples of cool stuff done with Mono. The biggest thing I've seen is that it allows the Microsoft weenies in your company to produce their web and application widgets with the .NET tools they know how to operate, but deploy on non-Windows platforms without the massive bloat of Java-based solutions and all that the Java religion pulls in. It lets you seriously propose to ditch IIS permanently in favor of something substantially more secure and useful -- like Apache with mod_mono. Another Good Thing is that now that Neale has the JIT compilation working, Mono apps are much closer to native code performance, and (in my observation) the code size seems smaller (which plays much nicer in shared resource environments) than the Java equivalent. Third, the tooling is more multi-lingual -- Mono isn't limited to a single programming language (there are COBOL Mono bindings ...e!), and there are some really spiffy Eclipse-based IDE tools coming out for Mono/.NET. When there are REXX bindings, then *that* will be cool. Can't say that I'm yet convinced that C# is all that great, but with Mono, I don't have to use it. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

I heard Miguel de Icaza speak on mono at LinuxWorld in NYC in either 02 or 03. He said words to the effect of "the .net *frameworks* is perhaps the best development environment in the world". And I got the feeling that that man knows his development environments. FWIW.
