  Is that the default look? So nice, with it and no Mono I might switch to Fedora.

  Sadly, there is a difference between "No Mono on the Live CD" and "No Mono in the installed distro"
  
  Mono is still included in the default install of Fedora w/ GNOME

  I have been using Ubuntu up until now, but this is really good. I will look at switching over the weekend also.

  Umm, No. The live cd is the installer that is recommended by Fedora for desktop users.

  @Hun
  
  You are confusing things. We're talking about fedora!

  Yes, you beat me t it. We area already aware of Ubuntu's disappointing stance on the subject.

  Hope to see mono wiped off from their repositories too... :-D

  it is ok to have it in repos. Bad to have it necessary for default.
  
  I just found this in groklaw: http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20080805144125413&title=How+to+remove+Mono+(M%24)+from+Ubuntu+Hardy+Heron&type=article&order=&hideanonymous=0&pid=716633#c716651
  
  Is this true? And why does it happen? Why would ooO require libmono in PCLinuxOS? Are they using go-ooo? That would suck, PCLinuxOS is kind of over hyped and it would suck if such a popular distro supported Novell's ill intentions like that.

  Excellent find. Thanks, Victor. It's not very surprising.

  you people really suck. R U stoopid? it's obvious this is only a mistake in PCLinuxOS's package management. go-oo is used in Ubuntu, too.

  Hi, 'eet'. Nice nymshift. Your IP gives it all away, never mind the obvious giveaway that's your nym.

  While i actually like mono i agree that it should be removed from Fedora and CentOS. I would prefer to install mono from its own repositories, that worked a lot better. Mono is progressing rapidly and its one of the few components where i actually wanna be at the edge.

  Could someone advise if Mono is installed in Linpus Linux Lite which is pre-installed in the Acer Aspire One Mini? TIA

  Without "Mono", How can I write C# programs on Linux ?

  Why not use programming languages not owned and controlled by a corporate aggressor?
