I want to use UNIX to develop c#
applications, does anyone have any
details of compatibility issues?
Does the DotNet framework exist for
Unix? I though it was a project
intended for future, if ever...

If you're using the Mono framework, then I've found that the Windows
Forms support is a bit shaky. Even simple controls can crash
unexpectedly sometimes (with an exception thrown deep within Mono), like
a simple TextBox where I used AppendText and ScrollToCaret to display a
real-time log of actions.

There is mono.

I assume that you mean using Mono ?
If you just want your apps to run on *nix, then writing
it in C# using Mono should be OK.
If you develop on *nix and want to deploy on both *nix
and Windows then you should also be fine.
(in both cases uses GTK# not Win Forms !)
If you develop on Windows and want to deploy on both *nix
and Windows then you should also be fine, then you will
very likely be headed towards problems.
Especially if you use newer .NET features.

I was under the impression that the new WPF
should be used for all new development,
instead of WinForms. Have i been missinformed?

We can always discuss whether it is "should" or "should consider". But
it is more or less correct.
For MS .NET on Windows. AFAIK then Mono does not offer WPF, so it is
simply not an option for *nix.

That, i didn't know. I guess that i naively assumed once a framework
is released, it does contain (or at least is aimed at containing) att
the parts for all the different paltforms.
Mono isn't part of the Microsoft .NET Framework, though. It's an
alternative framework (but aiming for 100% compatibility) developed by
some free-software guys and sponsored by Novell.
AFAIK, Microsoft doesn't release .NET for non-Windows platforms at all,
but they do publish standards and information so that other people can
port it if they want to.
Eq.

I've had several issues with character encoding.
Eg: using (StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(da taStream, System.Text.Enc oding.Default))
defaulted to the correct encoding for that specific stream in Windows
(UTF-7 in that case).
It would be a *very* odd installation of Windows which used UTF-7 as
the operating system default encoding.
On *nix it was bugged and I had to specifically
set it to UTF7. There were several _minor_ other things that broke my
code when someone tried to run under *nix.
If you're using Encoding.Defaul t but you actually require a specific
encoding, then it's not the operating system which is buggy, but your
code.
Encoding.Defaul t should *only* be used when you actually require the
operating system's default encoding. I find that's very rarely useful,
personally.

Right, "should consider". I agree, it's not always the best choice.

MS does not release a .NET for *nix.
They release to Windows and the Mono people start creating
the same classes.
And they have not created much of the 3.x classes yet.

We are dealing with significant browser compatibility issues with Netscape 5.x+ browsers and Mac IE. I am sure most web developers have faced similar issues in the past. Can anyone give me their thoughts on how they were able to address these issues ? Are there any best practices published by MS on how to ensure browser compatibility when coding asp.net
