Scraggles Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Here at work we are looking to port a program we are developing to Linux, yet none of us are very familiar with Linux. What would the best solution be? We are going to be testing out on FC2. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted September 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 29, 2004 Will mono work for what you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraggles Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 I'll look into it. I have a shareholders meeting to go to and I won't be able to discuss it with the rest of the team until tomorrow mid-day, so keep the suggestions coming please. Thanks!

Shadrack Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Wow, that Mono thing looks like what you are needing. I've never heard of them, thanks for the link mark. I'm wondering if the mono_mod supports ASP 3.0 applications. All it talks about is ASP.NET support. I would love to move my ASP applications from IIS in Windows to Apache in Linux. -nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raid517 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 As I understand it, the aim of the mono project is to achieve complete interoperability between Microsoft products and Linux in general - and to allow this to occur with the minimum possible need to invest any great amount of effort in any 'porting' effort - if indeed any at all were ultimately needed. So you could in theory have Windows.net applications running in Linux, and Mono applications running in Windows with the least possible time and money invested by developers in order to achieve this goal. The last I read, they had come a fairly long way towards achieving this objective. Though quite how far with regards to allowing you to achieve your goals remains for you to assess.

Rupert Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 You'll want to look at http://www.go-mono.com . Also, Google for DotGNU, that's a good Linux .Net platform, although not as complete as Mono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
