Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu The Mono discussion may be tiring, but the fact of the matter is that thanks to this discussion, various major Linux distributions are now making official statements detailing their position in the Mono/C# debate. The latest to do this is Ubuntu, which reiterated their position yesterday.

It seems like there are generally two classes of posters regarding this mono discussion:

1. People posting reasoned analysis and thoughtful comments (or at least respectfully trying to). These people tend to agree that Mono should not part of the core of gnome or any distro because of potential licensing issues yet acknowledge that Mono may be good from a technical point of view.

2. People just name calling and trolling. These people think installing Mono is just fine or think mono is fantastic. They tend to point out that all people against mono are just irrational haters (without providing rebuttals in any form) although I've yet to see many people arguing against the inclusion of mono who fit that description. The irony would be sweet if it weren't so annoying.
