Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

Dear Eugenia,
Thank you for you countless interesting contributions to my news addiction.
Anyways. The kernel mods have been finished since 2.4.0 hit the streets. It's a matter of running some magical commands to make kernel recognize exe as commands that need to be run through mono. I belive portable.net even has some sort of a ilrun --register command that will setup everything needed for this.
Regarding C#, it's a very nice lang and .NET is a nice platform. It has a bright future, however don't discount java. Just because C# leapfrogged java upon release, doesn't mean that sun will sit still. I belive that close competition between the 2 technogies will yield some marvelous results in terms of developer productivity on both sides of the fence.
