[Mono-devel-list] longtime Mac programmer needs a little help getting set up

[Jonel Rienton]

I have been installing Mono on my mac using the dmg file from 
mono-project's download site. Like kangaroo said, the gui part is still 
very rough on the edges as far as OS X is concerned. However, I have 
been doing a lot of my MSSQL application development on my mac using 
Mono and I'm pretty happy with the results.  If you need any more help, 
just let me know and I'll try to help you.

regards,
