Very much true. 

Well, if it's a pre-compiled Microsoft's IL then there should be 
no issues, except possibly for some yet to be identified glitches in 
Microsoft.VisualBasic runtime, which we will be happy to address in 
no time :-)

(Just to clarify on my earlier posting, if you would like to build the
dll 
using mbas, we aren't there yet.)

I am not aware of any.

Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately, there is no c# version of 
DotNetNuke.
The core team has talked about porting it, there's even a csharpNuke.com
website.  However, no c# version has yet been made available and various
posts
on the DotNetNuke forum leads me to believe it will be some time (if
ever)
before a c# port is done.

I was hoping maybe someone else has tried to run DNN on Mono.  I'ts a
very
capable and easy to use portal framework which I'm already familiar
with.
Theoretically, it should run on Mono, even though it's written in VB
(isn't
this true?) because the application is compiled to IL.  So Mono
shouldn't need
to compile any VB, just compile or interpret the IL.

Anybody done this?
