Compiling Mono (C#) on YDL?

[Derick Centeno]

I may be wrong but I don't believe C# is used in the Mac universe at
all, even within the various versions of Linux for the PPC.  If you are
noting ppc errors and the like it means that C# is looking for INTEL or
INTEL COMPATIBLE processors to run on.  In short, C#, is NOT a bone fide
computer language standard like Fortran, C or C++ or even Objective-C,
but a proprietary language which Microsoft created for its own uses in
making its applications work together more smoothly on Microsoft's .NET
framework.  

If you don't believe me fine...check www.fatbrain.com you'll note a
listing of professional programming publications which discuss these
things in as much detail as you or anyone can possibly handle.  The
arguments are pithy and intense, pro/con and very detailed...but it all
adds up the same as far as C# is concerned.

Microsoft is merely the biggest gorilla in the market...not the smartest
or the most scientific.

Besides at last count the compilers even within YDL could handle as many
as 5 or 6 different standard computer languages, even assembler...which
have each been proven as having clearer syntax, better accuracy and so
on than C#!  Why bother with C# at all?  As usual the answer to that
depends on what you are trying to do.

There is a different, solution, entirely but that means using OS X which
I don't have but I do keep up with the information regarding it.  I
believe the current version, and I KNOW the upcoming version -- Tiger --
has very intense improvements which make learning C# completely
unnecessary.  The OS functions as ALL OS are supposed (except Microsoft)
to and handle networks in the background (without getting users
distracted from their jobs) according to rules set up by a Sys.Admin. 
Oh well... Problem solved...Next!
