[Mono-list] Developer Express on Linux

[Ian Norton]

It is generally a good idea to have classes dedicated to wrapping unmanaged calls, you can test which platform you are at runtime and call the right unmanaged function.

On linux and mono you will generally find slot of calls are wrapped inside Mono.Posix

That said, it depends what you are pencilling for
