Description

The Mono open-source .NET project is led by Linux and UNIX software firm Ximian. The group is working on an open source implementation of the .NET framework that you can use on UNIX and Linux machines, as well as Windows. Mono includes a compiler for the C# language, a Common Language Runtime (CLR) for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and a set of class libraries. It also has implementations for both ADO.NET and ASP.NET. The goal is to provide a rich set of class libraries which are not only compatible to Microsoft .NET implementation but also provide much more functionality for the end user.
