[Mono-list] Where can one download “official” mono appliances?

[Emeric Fermas]

Hello,

This has originally been asked at
[stackoverflow.com](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8387975/). I've
been advised to direct my question to this list.

I used to rely on the [Novell ftp
site](http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/appliance/) to retrieve fully
fledged Linux based Mono virtual machines.

Latest VM available is Mono-2.10.2, published on April, 26th 2011 (few
days before the ["Attachmate"
incident](http://www.internetnews.com/skerner/2011/05/attachmate-lays-off-mono-emplo.html)).

The [VMWare_Image](http://www.mono-project.com/VMware_Image) page, on
the Mono project site, states that *"You can download the VMware image
with Mono pre-installed and pre-configured from our Downloads page."*.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything relevant on the
[Downloads](http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html) page.


Now that [Xamarin has came to an agreement with
Novell](http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2011/Jul-18.html), is there a
new source where one could download preconfigured Mono appliances?


Thanks in advance for your answer,
Thanks for the amazing job on Mono :)

Cheers,
Em.
