Ideally what I am looking to accomplish is to be able to tell a vs.net c# developer, who is not linux savvy that he should install a particlur distro and then do a, b ,c in order and then he can be productive.
I have taught and trained .net programmers since .Net's inception and most are scared of linux / mono. They are afraid of not being able to be productive.
My goal is to have a reasonably foolproof transition path from VS.NET to Mono/Monodevelop where a developer can get up and running and be productive very quicky.
A very stable linux disto is essential, while there are many out there, only a few have any name recognition in the MS community.
As an IT director I am budgeting more for MS development licensing then I used to budget for entire production deployments. The smaill guys are being priced out of the market.
