There is an open source project called Mono that has implemented a cross
platform .Net runtime and many of the .Net 1.1 class libraries. Mono
runs on Linux, Mac, Windows and Several other operating systems. While
Mono works really well, there isn't 100% compatability at this point so
some apps may not work completely.

Hi Islam,

I use Mono's implementation of the .NET Framework, and their C# compiler
since I'm a poor university student, who can't afford Windows or VS.NET.

I'm running Mono on Linux (specifically Debian 3.1), with no problems.
However, as was mentioned by Andrew Faust, in the adjacent post, Mono
hasn't (yet) fully implemented all of the classes in the framework. But
it's not bad. Take a look at http://www.go-mono.com for more information.

Hi Michael,

I do know. I also know that you get the compilers and everything with the
framework, and I'd just be as happy with Notepad.exe and csc.exe. However,
the operating system it runs on is not free.

(I also take my definition of free to be the definition for "Free Software"
as defined by the FSF.)
