Short answer:
1) .NET programs only run on windows systems (and only the windows systems that have .net framework packages for them)
2) Only IIS supports asp.net programs


Longer answer: If you really really wanted to, there are special ways of compiling your .net code and using other CLRs to support more platforms. Its been mentioned here on the forums before, but I've never really looked into it.
I am fairly certain that it is not easy to do.

I create my C#.NET programs on Linux using mono.
The mono project still doesn't allow you to do much but it looks like it's headed in the right direction.

If it uses emacs or vi I will cry.

You can use monodevelop on most distros but I use FC 5 and that has issues with the gtk stuff so I'm stuck with vi.

I think someone has forgotten about Mono and Apache:ASP.

Using pico for editing documents is like building a house and using only a hammer for your tool.

The short answer is still "no", my long answer covered the mono situation (I couldn't think of name of it at the time)


And as for pico, I'd still rather use it then emacs or vi. Stupid crazy hotkeys.

So...your short answer should be "Yes" and your long answer should be "...with mono and some elbow grease." We're trying to be reputable here ;)

Come on! Everybody knows that in order save a document you need to type CTRL-X followed by CTRL-S! And you don't even need to let up on the CTRL key!

I am more annoyed with the difficulty of QUITing out of those programs.
With VI it's like ;Q then enter twice or something, but only if you're in certain screens and other times it's like just some other combination.
I was like "no thanks, I'll stick to ctrl-o for saving and ctrl-x for exiting"

Come on! CTRL-X, CTRL-C?! It even has it's own LISP! And a file browser! And you can run links from it! And debug your c code! It's really not an editor, it's a SHELL!
