I'm not sure what a lot of this means, but Mono is the Linux port of C#.

You need Mono. See the articles on this site and this link: Mono regards

well mono is the only chance of c# on linux, but as I said "chance".. mono isn't the framework. it's less functional and if memory didn't trick me it's only framework 1.1 'compatiblie'

life is study!!!

I thought Microsoft was supposed to be working on Linux support. I found this for FreeBSD: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/07/SharedSourceCLI/ DD

thx for the information I though that the c# compiler wasn't open source so how did they get it on linux? So c# on windows is not really the same as on linux?

Not that I completely understand it, but what I think they are doing with this project is creating a Common Language Runtime library for FreeBSD. So in theory your compiled c# code should run on FreeBSD with Rotor installed. FreeBSD is not Linux but it is a free version of Unix that is similar to Linux.
