+1 on steering clear of DBLinq.  DBLinq was the straw-on-the-camel that
finally pushed me to give up on C#/.NET for server-side [without a real
Open Source platform I don't want to build stuff on it]. 

Really sad, because without a really good way to interface with
databases...

But nHibernate might be an option worth looking at.  Someone told me
that they work on Mono these days [unverified].
