Well, you'll need first download and install Mono.  You can do this either 
from mono's cvs or you can use the rpms at baselabs.org.  I would suggest 
installing from cvs if you plan on developing for mono.  You will learn more 
this way, and you can be assured of an up-to-date system :-)

AFAIK, you should be fine with RedHat.  Although there might be some problems 
with dependencies like glib or something.  Another alternative is to use 
Ximian's Red Carpet to install mono.  If you did this then you'd be assured 
of having the right dependencies when you do build from cvs.

Hope this helps,

Adam
