Look how far progress has come, though.
On the Mono project website (Novell's implementation of the .NET Framework), there's now a version available for download as a SuSE Linux image for the free VMware Player virtual machine, and you can even download it via bittorrent.
I needed Mono for Linux in order to bundle it into a C# program that I'm planning to run on my hosting server. And the mkbundle utility, designed for this purpose, doesn't work in Windows yet.
If you didn't understand what this is all about, it's too early for you to call yourself an advanced computer geek, hehe.
Progress
