How to use/is reasonable to use this from Debian 5.05 ?
Or should I switch to ubuntu or debian unstable or other?
ISP offers Debian, Fedora,CentOS and Ubuntu

According to mono page "compiling from svn" first step is to run svn 
command.
I tried but  svn does not exist. Then I tried
apt-get install svn

but got package not found error.

Virtual server has 256 MB of RAM , 30 GB disk space, 64 bit . Can mono 
compiled in this server ?

Where to find step by step instructions for vanilla Debian 5.05 ?

Andrus.
