Comments: Mono Evangelism - Part II

I too attended the webcast and thought he did a very good job, but it could have been more up-to-date (particularly the Windows Forms bits). I'm looking forward to his future webcasts - there is another one scheduled for next week.

Ubuntu is also my choice of Linux desktop, but I get frustrated by the lack of up-to-date Mono packages available for it. Warty (stable) is only on 1.0.1, and Hoary (unstable) is on 1.0.4. Mono 1.1 packages are not available for either...

I've considered providing my own Ubuntu packages for 1.0.x and 1.1.x, but have not yet found the time to do so.

Hello!

Are the old projects on novell forge deprecated? The "Gtk# Win32 Installer for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SDK", etc? If I want to develop for mono using vs.net, where can I find the latest and the greatest info on what to install?

Just found myself starting to reinstall and wondering.

Best regards! /mawi

There is a backports site that contains an unofficial 1.0.5 build of Mono. It's what I run. However, I AM frustrated about the lack of the development packages, 1.1.3, etc. I'm having very little luck getting all of it properly built on my Ubuntu Hoary installation from CVS. I'm really wanting to try out the latest in MWF.
