You're after the Mono packages! They're not present in the current stable (sarge) release, but they are available via Backports.

If apt-cache search --names-only mono isn't enough, you can easily display long description with something like:

for i in $(apt-cache search --names-only mono | cut -d' ' -f1); do
   echo $i
   apt-cache show $i | grep '^ .*$'
   echo ""
done | less
THis will allow you to check what you need... Cheers, Julien

No actually I want to know which one of those packages should I install so that I can do DotNet development just like I do in Windows ?

The Synaptic Manager is showing all those packages .

If you want to do development get the first three packages. mono is the runtimes, mono-devel is the libs and monodevelop is an ide. You don't need monodevelop, you could of course use which ever ide/text editor you wanted.

NO NEED TO SHOUT. ;-)

First, re-read the previous comment from Anonymous -- it gives all the answers you wanted.

Second, read " http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html " as it is a wealth of information on such situations...

Cheers.

I think what daemon is trying to say is that an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is the windowing/GUI interface you are looking for.

You can see examples of the interface on the monodevelop screenshots page if you like.

Many users of this site have tools they prefer and will stick with regardless of language or development project (i use emacs myself). So Anonymous was trying to offer you a choice, not telling you what to do.
