Mono in Ubuntu

[jepong]

Narinig nyo na ba yung Mono? Eto yung open source implementation ng .Net sponsored by Novell. Di ba may bahid ni M$ 'to?

Is this good or bad sa Linux? Pls share your thoughts.

Pinapabayaan ko na lang. Kailangan ko ng Tomboy notes at GNOME Do eh.

That's old stuff. If you have Tomboy in your default Ubuntu install, then you have Mono. Also, Mono will allow you to use Livestation

Variety is the spice of life.

Last night I tried to remove mono-common and libmono0. Remove nga Banshee, Tomboy and F-Spot but OK pa naman ubuntu.

I don't have any philosophical issues with Mono. I'm more interested in the technical benefits that it can offer. It is probably because I tend to focus more on the pragmatic side of software engineering.

Besides, the guy who started Mono is the same one who started Gnome. He is perhaps looking into the pragmatic side of the technology as well.

As long as you're not dependent on any software that runs on top of Mono, it won't hurt removing it.

When I say 'dependent', think of it as Flash-enabled sites. The only reason my non-techy cousins could use our laptop with Ubuntu installed is because of proprietary software installed in it. (Adobe Flash Player, A/V Codecs, etc)

That is on browsing Youtube/Imeem/etc and playing Farmville/Farmtown/etc -- they still haven't adjusted using OpenOffice

It simply shows that, for Ubuntu to be useable for general public, it needs those non-FOSS installations.
