Debian as in the Raspberry Pi version would be awesome… wheezy?

The big issue there has been the hard float support.

Yes, the current ones that I have in mind are:

 

* CentOS

* Debian/Ubuntu

* Fedora

* OpenSUSE

 

Anything else will have to wait until we have a solid story there.

Presumably that means SuSE as well?


This really is excellent news, as Mono is fantastic for cross-platform
sysadmin scripting and good Linux support is key to tha.

Hello Chris,

I am not sure that we will cover every possible Linux, but we will try
to
cover the major Linux distributions/versions.

So there is still room for other minor versions to keep their own builds
going.
