so, for .net(C#) what should i use mono or dotgnu??
When I last checked mono and dotgnu, both were are early stages. Both of them only give a feel of what the dotnet framework can achieve. In the end, they only you to do some command line programs (i mean response in command line) for absolutely basic stuff. The power of dotnet is primarily in its ability on GUI programming, transparent (for the programmer) system interaction and transparent database connectivity. None of these are possible on mono or dotgnu. Both of these (or have a look at MS's linux edition of dotnet called rotor) are only at proof of concept level.
If you are looking to do any serious work on dotnet, stick to windows, dont try to use it on Linux yet.
