Not specifically. What I was really referencing was more of a "lets start building more apps with Mono that are Windows ports" type of argument. But as some have correctly pointed out, that may be a bit tricky given that Linux has supposedly violated every patent that Microsoft has ever owned, and several they have not even written yet, lol. I feel that Mono is that safe haven you give Windows developers. That carrot to encourage them to take that .NET app, and while not breaking .NET capabilities, also allows them to expand their audience. For that reason alone, I would like to see the Linux community put more apps on Mono. The more Windows apps that can easily convert to Linux compatibility, the better for Linux users, the Linux community in general and Ubuntu in specific. Much better idea in the long run than adding a bunch of geek apps like gParted and VIM. -- Kevin Fries Senior Linux Engineer Computer and Communications Technology, Inc A Division of Japan Communications Inc. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
