I haven't used apt-get yet, but it sounds awesome.  Linux Magazine has
an article on it there Oct. 03 edition.

Because Mono and GTK# are growing so fast, it would be worth using the
newest possible versions even if it requires manually compiling them
until someone releases a package for your platform.  This should help
you focus more on fixing bugs in your software and discovering new bug
in Mono rather than fighting bugs that are known and have been
resolved.
