That's strange, given that the entire point of Mono, which is primarily developed on Linux, is to encourage cross-platform compatibility. I'm guessing that something just isn't quite finished yet.
Maybe I'll look into it.
Well, I'm not saying you're wrong necessarily. I'm just thinking that the very point of using Mono is to allow for cross-platform compatibility, so if Linux-in-particular has issues with Mono, it might be a place for a contribution.
And yes, I am also still super-skeptical about the Microsoft/Linux dealie; but this also isn't the kind of hill I want to die on.
