Hello List,

I hope this is the right place to ask my questions!
If not, please let me know on where to go.

I collected  some  (still beginners level) C# experiance with MS.Net an =
am very interessted in MONO.
I have to admit, that I am a beginner with linux also.
I am using SuSE Linux 9.0=20

After reading through quit some www. pages about mono, buying a book =
(the only one available on the german market) and downloading and =
installing the recommended rpm's:
- mono-0.28-1.ximian.7.1.i586.rpm
- mono-devel-0.28-1.ximian.7.1.i586.rpm
I am now ready to start....but how?

Well, I have done the "hello.cs" and it works, but now I would like to =
setup a acceptable developement enviroment=20
(remember , I made my first steps in C# with visual studio.NET and =
therefore am a little fastidious).

So here are my "beginners" questions:
- Which IDE should I use?
- How can I get it installed and working?
- Is there a graphical Development Enviroment at all?
- How can I get the mono debugger to work?
  I tried to build it on my machine, but I can't get beyond "configure". =

  Configure keeps complaining "Cant find jay".
- What is jay, and what do I have to do to get it working on my machine?

May be there is a paper out there in the www that some one has written =
who went through all this already? That would be greate!

Sorry, if some,many, maybe all of these questions sound stupid, but as I =
said I am a beginner concerning this subject and I hope to find some one =
who can get me on the way.

Regards
Rainer
