The OP wanted a more up-to-date version of Mono. Normally, it's up to 
the distro to produce a newer version of mono for the distro rather than 
the mono guys (though they do a SuSE one).

As I don't use Ubuntu (I'm a Fedora guy), I'm not too sure which version 
they have in their base.

This may be down to misinterpretation on my part. When I build an 
application using mono, unless I want it system wide, I usually keep it 
in ~/. If the intention is to package rather than anything else, then 
yes, the OP needs to use the packaging system for that distro. Under 
Fedora, a script is usually placed in /usr/bin to fire the binary which 
will be in /usr/lib[64]
