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 (http://www.novell.com), 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 consists of three groups of components
- Core components(C# compiler, the virtual machine, and the base class libraries)
- Mono/Linux/GNOME development stack(Gtk#, Mozilla libraries for layout, Unix integration libraries, database connectivity libraries, a security stack, and the XML schema language RelaxNG.)
- Microsoft compatibility stack.(ADO.NET, ASP.NET, and Windows.Forms, among others.)
