Using something called mono IIRC.

What language? I did before I retired, and still putter a bit at home. The OS was SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server). The IDE was Eclipse, and the languages were C and C++. I have an Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 system running under VMWare Player on my Windows PC at home. -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN bert(a)iphouse.com

So hard to do anything of any substance. I programmed C in Linux and was significantly more productive than the sheep forced into visual hell.

Oh dear oh dear. Again, the common misconception, confusing the desktop with The Rest of the World. Once you stray from the desktop, your figures are a complete reversal of the actual situation. The Linux installed base is at least *one* order of magnitude greater than that of Windows, and it's probably very difficult to find *anybody* who does *not* use Linux. I'm not even talking there about people Googling, or shopping at Amazon, or visiting a Linux-powered web-site. Rather, I'm talking about people owning evices devices which run Linux. |
