[Mono-list] MVC hosting

[Abe Gillespie]

Mono runs ASP.Net MVC apps just fine.  The sources are here:

http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/

XSP is at the very bottom.  Note that you'll probably want mod_mono as well
if you're running your site through Apache.  Setup and running XSP /
mod_mono is very Googlable; see what you can turn up.

Note, that if you compiled MonoDevelop from source, there may be some extra
steps involved to point MD at XSP and have it run / debug your MVC sites
properly.  I don't know, I never compile MD from source.
