[MonoDevelop] Review of MonoDevelop

[Daniel Hughes]

To the people saying to use OpenSuse take a look that the link
supplied: for your convenience I have included it here:

http://software.opensuse.org/package/monodevelop

However the newest version on that page is 3.0.6

The op asked for MonoDevelop 4 and the official openuses packages will
not give him that.

There was a time when OpenSuse was the place to go to for the lastest
mono. That time is now gone.
