Novell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on LinuxNovell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on LinuxPosted Nov 9, 2006 20:22 UTC (Thu) by hilmi (guest, #41368)Parent article: Novell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on Linux Since MS patent promise may be interpreted as an official threat (rather than giving rights) to free software developers, Mono is the last development platform I would use. Because I don't want to use it as a developing platform, I don't want to use applications written in Mono either...

Novell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on Linux Posted Nov 9, 2006 22:26 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] If your scared of Mono then be sure to avoid things like Samba or OpenOffice.org or Abiword or any other system in Linux setup to provide compatability with any Microsoft software anywere.
Novell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on Linux Posted Nov 9, 2006 22:27 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] Oh and for god's sake avoid Wine or Crossover or Cedega like the freaking plague. Man those things are 10 times more legally dubious then Mono (which is to say not that much at all)
Novell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on Linux Posted Nov 10, 2006 8:45 UTC (Fri) by job (guest, #670) [Link] I wouldn't count on that. The APIs WINE implement are much older than those that Mono implement, and it's more recently that Microsoft started designing things around what they could patent (such as XML transforms).
Novell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on Linux Posted Nov 10, 2006 10:12 UTC (Fri) by hilmi (guest, #41368) [Link] Using these programs may be accepted when there are no free software alternatives to them. As another commenter pointed out sometimes using Mono is better than installing windows to make your homework; I agree with this. On the other hand using Mono for development of free software for multiple operating systems or just free operating systems is not a must. You can always use other development platforms (Ruby, C++, Java, etc.). Since there are many alternatives to Mono I have the option not to use it and I will definitely use this option.

These programs (Mono and Wine) are also Free software.
