[Mono-list] Using mod-mono from source

[Martin Thwaites]

Hi Andy,

Out of interest, what distro would you recommend for running mono (for
web).  I'm happy to load up another VM with that on to test it.

I'm not a fan of Suse, I've used Fedora but not in the last 8 years ish,
used CentOS a few years back as an IDS but nothing more.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Martin
