[Mono-list] Mono 2.6 for Ubuntu

[Bálint Kardos]

Hi,

my problem is that I'm only using mono for web services on my servers (I've
never used Ubuntu or Linux as a desktop). I'm renting virtual machines, so I
can't compile from source on the server - and I simply don't know anything
about re-packaging and all stuff - basically I can't update all nodes easily
for a version change.

I think a "for webservers only" build for Ubuntu would be a good solution.
Without it, I'm aliening the rpms from the SuSe distribution.

b.

üdvözlettel
with regards

Kardos Bálint
