[Mono-list] mcs on linux

[Dave Lee]

Thanks for the info Adam.  Well, I do have a windows partion, but 
fortunately it doesn't actually have windows on it, just mp3s from the 
time when I was dualbooting and wanted access to the mp3s from linux and 
windows.  Are there any contributions I could make in order to get mcs
compiling itself under linux?  Where can I find out more on the status of 
mcs for linux?  I have access to windows machines, of course, but I am
much more interested in linux.

Thanks,
Dave
