[mono-vb] Getting started with Mono-VB / Visual Basic 2005

[alloydog]

I tried a few web searches for example, getting started mono "Visual Basic
2005", but couldn't really get the answers I need.

I have just hold of the book "Build a Program Now!" with Microsoft Visual
Basic 2005 Express Edition.
This should be fine on my work PC running Windows, but I would like to do
some study at home.
My PC is running a small Debian/Ubuntu-ish based distribution (Debris). I
have installed the following with apt-get:
libmono-corlib1.0-cil
libmono-corlib2.0-cil
libmono-data-tds2.0-cil
libmono-peapi2.0-cil
libmono-security2.0-cil
libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil
libmono-system-data2.0-cil
libmono-system-web2.0-cil
libmono-system2.0-cil
libmono0 libmono2.0-cil
mono-2.0-devel
mono-common mono-gac
mono-jit mono-runtime

(OK, I installed mono-2.0-devel, apt did the rest...)

What do I need to get a similar IDE to the Visual Basic one? Is there a
similar IDE to the Visual Basic one?
Is it possible/practical to follow the Microsoft book using Mono?
