Mono

No, I haven't gotten the kissing disease.

I'm getting my head around the capabilities of Mono.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to run C#.NET apps on my own Linux server - mainly as it is a lot cheaper that a windows box; and more stable.

I'm liking Mono, and its IDE monodevelop. I can now hack together C#.NET webforms on my Linux laptop, have them running in Apache (well, almost - XSP does the job for the moment...) and not lose touch with my mad .NET skillz - booyah!

There are a few gotchas with the IDE - no intellisense in ASPX pages, no proper support of partial classes - definitely not showstoppers. I could even look at adding those features (not likely, but..) as both mono and monodevelop are open source and I have not looked at the .NET source code.

I working on something to scratch a personal itch at the moment - intelligently filter the far too many RSS feeds I have subscribed to.

I'll post up any problems I find as I go along.
