I am a long time ms programmer trying very hard to transition to mono.

I have yet to get monodevelop working... Off and on for a month and a half and 5 installs of fedora core 3. I have ordered SUSE 9.3... but fedora should have worked I think

I had mono up in a couple of hours and wrote some code with eclipse and the mono addin in another couple of hours. but the install for monodevelop is freakin nuts.

I would love to contribute (especially a refactoring addin if not already done) but I have yet to even see the app. I have 20 something years of programming experience and this is really frustrating.

As soon as I get it up and running I would like to start a mono/linux user group is S Florida for  MS .net guys to help ease the transition. MS has really pisssed on them with the new MSDN pricing.

Does anyone have a step by step instruction guide for any distro?

Thanks

Well, for starters if you want to have it up and running fast and easily, try the linux installer or rpms which you can get from here and that sould be really fast and simple. Once you have that running you can start trying to compile a trunk build, but if MD doesn't start even using the installer / rpms, then you probably have a dependency problem....
Of course, in order to compile from source, you need all the -devel packages which are not needed to simply 'run' the app.
Anyway that should get you through the 'seeing the app' part. ;)
