[Mono-winforms-list] bug counts

[Lee Turner]

Installing Ubuntu and then apt-get installing mono or using synaptics to do
it for you has yeilded a very usuable development environment for me,
mono-develop is still far from perfect but it works.

Debian/Ubuntu does have the advantage of dealing with dependancies for you
(on the whole), the reason for Ubuntu is because it's generally more
'bleeding-edge' than Debian installs and will ship with a newer version of
mono(develop)

anyway, that's my two cents
