It has already been argued that
Novell's Mono had evolved to become a legal minefield. Unsurprisingly,
Red Hat excludes Mono from RHEL 5.
There are a lot of great new programs and innovations expected in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Novell-led Mono project isn't one of them.
Mono is an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET framework. It recently hit version 1.2 offering the promise of improved Windows-to-Linux .NET portability.
