Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix. Sponsored by Novell, the Mono open source project has an active and enthusiastic contributing community and is positioned to become the leading choice for development of Linux applications.
Mono will run binaries produced by Visual Studio, there is no need to recompile. Mono API coverage is limited to the .NET 1.1 API at this point, with spotty support for 2.0.

· Multi-platform
· Based on the ECMA/ISO standards
· Can run .NET, Java, Python and more.
· Open Source, Free Software.
· Commercially supported.
· Comprehensive technology coverage.
