[Mono-list] Mono 2.6 for Ubuntu

[daniel]

Why is there no official support for ubuntu.

I mean it is the largest desktop linux distribution.

You support Windows which lets face it not all that many people use  
mono on windows, and why would they when .net runs on windows. Even mono 
develop uses the .net runtime on windows. And yet you have support for 
windows from day one.

However if I want the latest mono on ubuntu I have to wait for the next 
version of the operating system to be released to get it.

Do I have to wait for microsoft to release window 8 to get mono 2.6? no
so why should I have to wait for it on ubuntu 10.04 to get it?

End of rant.
