Mono Dot Net Framework

Novell picked up leadership of the Mono project from Ximian. Since the common language runtime and dot net languages like C# have been submitted (and approved ) as ECMA standards, it should be possible to port the Dot Net Framework, Common Language Runtime and Dot Net languages to other platforms.

This is the goal of the Mono project. It currently can be run on Linux, some Unix, BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and even Windows OSes. To do this the JIT (just in time compiler) needs to support many chipsets the x86, SPARC, S390, 64 bit x86 and others.
