Fedora Core 5 to Ship with Mono

In a very short post, one of the Red Hat engineers has stated that Fedora Core 5 will ship with Mono natively.  I personally haven’t done any work with Mono in almost a year, but with the apparent backing of the world’s largest Linux distributer perhaps this means it’s ready for primetime.  More importantly, this means that the *nix crowd has accepted .Net as a viable platform for building applications.  Granted, FC isn’t their enterprise level Linux distro…but perhaps future versions of RHEL will include Mono as well.

.Net - Taking over linux 1 distro at a time (Copyright Sushant Bhatia) :-) Yeah its cool to see mono getting into linux. I have a question though (since I'm not a big linux/mono person yet). If I have .net code on a win machine, and want to port it to linux, is it as easy as copying over the code or is there some "work" required?

Sushant -
Mono runs compiled .NET code. You can copy an EXE that you built on Windows under Visual Studio to a machine running Linux with Mono installed and the EXE will run. The only caveat is that you can't be making Windows specific calls - p/invoke, registry lookups, etc.
