[vox-tech] Re: [vox-if] [rsvp-May15] Mandrake 9.2 + WinXP; trying to install Fedora Core on Virtual PC

[Jan W]

Mark hit it on the head (except Mono is an Open Source implementation of .NET,
it runs on windows as well).  My logic is: (C & C++):(gcc)::(C# and
VB.NET):(Mono).  C# isn't a traditional compiled "language" (M$ calls it part
of the .NET 'framework'), parts of it are interpreted.

I don't think that Mono is included with Redhat/Fedora.  You need to D/L it
from their site, but they have source/RPM/DEB/windows .MSI, so it's fairly
easy.

He also wants to get it running in a VM on WinXP (I use VMware daily, but never
Virtual PC)...  

I am nominally interested in Mono and .NET, is there anyone else sick in the
head like me?  

The next question is since he is a fair hike away from davis, are we going to
make him drive all the way out for an IF, or can we/should we try to help him
via the list/IM/something else?  I'll be at the IF...
