Hi Sean,
I've checked out Mono.. but i'm still wondering do we need the .Net
Framework in the unix server with mono? Cause i understand most of the
stuff
we do in asp.net are from the .net framework
Mono is an implementation of the CLR, just as .NET is the Microsoft
implementation of the CLR. Now .NET is Windows-only, whereas Mono is
cross-platform. There are times and areas where Mono may lag behind .NET,
but it looks like they're doing a pretty good job of keeping up.
I'd say your best bet would be to install Mono on a Windows machine (without
..NET installed), and get the code working there. Once that's going, port it
to Unix. Hopefully it won't need many changes, and try to make sure that all
the changes you perform will also work on the Windows implementation.
