And what, precisely, were you expecting? Post here, expect to get critiqued, :-) if not outright parboiled by some of the, erm, flamier trolls in here. (You know who you are. :-P )

I'll give it this: it's a reasonably good intro to getting set up, although I should note that many distros already have a Mono in their install kits, so your method may not strictly speaking be needed for such distros). On Gentoo, for example, one can

$ emerge dev-dotnet-mono

or just

$ emerge mono

and get at least a good part of the environment set up, presumably.

I've not fiddled with this myself, and there are a few unresolved questions as to patents and such.

The actual HTML style is a little weird, as it has both style sheets and hardcoded colorcodes. This might be by design (some browsers don't understand CSS). There's also bits of Javascript interspersed with the code, and it looks like it uses tables a little too much.

However, it's clean and readable in the Epiphany browser. So it works for me.
