Novell doesn't support Ubuntu, likely due to cost reasons--they'd pretty
much need to hire at least one more, maybe two more people to do
Debian-style packaging for Debian and Ubuntu. RPM-based distros like Red
Hat, etc. are easy, because they can modify SuSE .spec files as necessary.
This is not to say that updates to Mono can't be installed on Ubuntu. The
community packagers for Debbuntu do a good job of getting Mono releases out
shortly after the official release drops. You can find fairly up-to-date
releases for Ubuntu at http://badgerports.com, and Debian has up-to-date
releases in the experimental distribution. The reason that the official
Ubuntu repositories don't update faster is that Mono is a core framework,
and as such, requires extensive testing before it can be upgraded--due to
Ubuntu's policies, it's not likely that you'll ever see an updated Mono come
in through {distribution}-backports or any of the other update repos,
barring major security fixes, etc.

Nabble bug? Using the mailing list directly is much more convenient.

This means that applications must be sometimes ported to be able to run under Mono. Usually, only the developer or a skilled mono hacker is able to do this work, but the latter is rather unlikely to happen, given that the app you're trying to run is a commercial one. > I'm after the PC version.

It doesn't pay attention to Wine at all. This means that only fully managed .NET applications are likely to run. Maybe you'd have more luck with Mono for Windows under Wine, but this a totally different story. Not many people (if any) on this list are using this combination, so you'd have to look for help on Wine's mailing links/forums.
