Free mono software for linux

The Mono Live CD is a way for you to try out Linux, the Mono Framework 1.1.7, and the newest desktop applications without modifying your current computing environment.
Main features:
- Develop, compile and run software with MonoDevelop.
- Listen to your music collection in style with Muine.
- Take notes with Tomboy.
- Manage your photos with F-Spot.
- Search music, photos, chats, and documents with Beagle.
- Explore web applications such as ASP.NET Forums, IBuySpy, and mojoPortal.
This CD also contains the files necessary to install Mono on Windows computers. This allows you to expore the framework without installing a Linux desktop, and begin developing cross-platform applications with Mono and Gtk# today.

Monoppix is a Live CD Linux distribution (based on Knoppix), which means you pop it in your CD drive, reboot, and youre running Linux.
It works without installing a thing on your hard drive - it runs completely off the CD and RAM.
Showcasing and spreading Mono technology which is a free .NET framework implementation to linux/unix operating systems.
Main features:
- Mono runtime environment, complier and class libraries,
- Monodevelop - Mono enabled IDE,
- XSP - ASP.NET web server,
- GTK# - for desktop applications (sample included),
- MySQL database server,
- Quickstarts and Mono walkthroughs and tutorials.

Mono-Readline is a simple little assembly for .Net (specifically Mono) that provides support for GNU Readline support within Mono applications.

Mono-Readline project is based on the code of Martin Baulig in the Mono debugger. I just took it and made it all nice and autoconf/automake enabled.

Its pretty straight forward, but here is a short sample program:

using Mono.ReadLine;
using System;
using System.Reflection;

public class Test {

public static void Main(string[] args) {
GnuReadLine readline = new GnuReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Monkeys!");

string the_prompt = "This is a test: ";
string result;
while (true) {
result = readline.ReadLine(the_prompt);
if (result != null) {
readline.AddHistory(result);
} else {
break;
}
}
}
}

You should be able to compile this with mcs -r:mono.readline test.cs and get a little executable program that keeps going until you hit CTRL-D. There is lots of other fun you could do such as setting up continuation prompts and what not. Basically, most of this is ripped from Martins code in the mono debugger.

But wait, odds are youre going to get some funky error saying it cant find the package or something like that. If thats the case, make sure you have MONO_PATH="/usr/local/lib" set before running the program and compiling. For example to compile run:

MONO_PATH="/usr/local/lib" mcs -r:mono.readline test.cs

And then to run type:

MONO_PATH="/usr/local/lib" mono test.exe

Im not a real Mono pro, but my hope is that this could possibly help someone else out. Im thinking that in the future I may also include a patch for IronPython.

As always, if you have comments or patches, please let me know.

Team Foundation for Mono is an implementation of the Team Foundation libraries and related client programs for the Mono .Net platform. Team Foundation is a collection of collaborative technologies that support a team effort to deliver a product from Microsoft that includes bug tracking, source control, and other capabilities.
This project focuses currently on the SCM related libraries and tools. It includes a fairly functional version of the TF client used to access the SCM capabilities of Team Foundation servers. In some respects, its usability exceeds that of the standard TF tool. It also includes some subcommands from the TF Power Tool, and leverages the Gnome Keyring when available. Team Foundation does not do file attribute tracking, but the included TF client in this project leverages libmagic to implement file attribute tracking on unix platforms.
Team Foundation is tightly integrated into the Visual Studio platform. This project will hopefully someday include a MonoDevelop plugin as well as implementations of the other non-SCM related Team Foundation libraries.
For registered developers, CodePlex is a publicly accessible example of a Team Foundation server used to host open source projects.
Enhancements:
- This release adds the "tf shelvesets" command (brief output only), support for writable working folders, "tf help < cmd >" with display of valid options for each command, the "tf branches" command (limited testing), the "tf online < list of files >" option, the "tf diff /brief" option, support for "tf add /recursive < path >", 20 new test cases for the tf client program, a "tf help /list" helper for shell completion, a progress indicator for GetCommand when setting permissions, the History.StopAfter option, and many bugfixes.

GraphMonkey is a GTK#-based graphic calculator.

This software is written in C# with GTK#.The goal is to obtain a very simple and fast graphic calculator for mono. Its cross-platform: it works on GNU/Linux and Windows.
the software is under the gpl license.

Consonance is a .NET/Gtk# client for the OpenGroupware groupware server.

Consonance connects to the OpenGroupware.org groupware service via the ZideStore service; the ZideStore service must have a current version of the zOGI bundle installed.

All Consonance documentation and source code are copyright of Whitemice Consulting, (Adam Tauno Williams).

All Consonance documentation and source code are released under the GPL.

NOTE: As of 2007-05-28 Consonance and the ZOGI .NET client assembly is being targeted at .NET 2.0 in order to use Db4o as a client side cache. This means Mono users must have at least Mono 1.2.4. Earlier version of Mono contain a bug/deficiency when in .NET 2.0 mode that prevents them from being able to perform HTTP authentication. The GUI application Consonance requires Gtk# 2.8.3 or better.

Those who cry "Bloatware!" deflector - Consonance is a groupware client, not a PIM. It is intended from the beginning to be a large application, with significant resource requirements, with many features. Groupware is software for those with complex collaboration needs, those with simpler needs wont "get it". We are just fine with that; dont bother to try and explain to us how we are wrong because you have different needs.
