[Mono-list] Mono in SF Bay Area

[Jack in Danville]

I am contemplating starting up a venture in the SF Bay Area. I have no
experience in the Mono or Linux communities, so I would appreciate any feed
back to the following:

1) Mono applications, especially a web site running on 64-bit Linux 
2) Mono applications using Hadoop/Hbase
3) Availabilty of talented people in SF Bay Area willing to work on
interesting projects in this kind of environment.
4) Anyone who can compare this kind of environment to a MS environment.
Administrative overhead, pros/cons, etc.
5) Tossing the C# and porting to Java instead.

I already have a pretty extensive code base in C#, and my background is in
MS application development, but scaling up to dozens or more of servers gets
kind of expensive with MS licensing. I'm interested in all knowledgeable
feedback.

thanks
