[Mono-list] New Suse?

[Carl Olsen]

I don't know how stable it is.  The first thing I tried was to install Mono
1.0.1 from the RMPs on the www.mono-project.com website.  YaST2 would not
allow me to install all of them.  I switched to Red Carpet and everything
installed perfectly.  However, I still need to download the binaries and tar
them to get the README files for the configuration details.  Also, I have no
idea whether my machine is still stable.  I just got through installing all
the Mono stuff from Red Carpet at 1:30 AM this morning, so I still don't
know how well it is working.  I have to go to work now, so I won't know
until this evening whether any of it actual works.

My whole purpose in using Mono is for ASP.NET, so Mono .30 that comes on the
distribution disks for SuSE 9.1 Professional is not going to do me much
good.  I bought the product because it is a Novell product and I just assume
that it will be a good bet for Mono development, since Novell now owns
Ximian, etc.

So far, it looks like SuSE 9.1 Professional is a good choice.
