Works just the same. Make sure your work doesn't rely heavily on the Systems.Window.Forms or you might be disappointed. Thats still a bit of a moving target. Or more correctly, the target is stationary but the mono team has been taking shots from different angles at it. As we speak there are hackers locked up deep inside the Novell campus chipping away at the latest incarnation. The thing to do is make sure you use code from the .NET stack. While the MONO stack is sweet and sure to be around, the .NET stack will move better to a non-mono CLR (common language runtime) like the one your instructor will be using. You might talk to him or her and suggest they introduce the class to mono. If you are going to be coding C# in Linux be sure to check out Monodevelop: http://www.mono-project.com/using/monodevelop.html#md Good luck, Gabe ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
