All,
I've been using SuSE with KDE for years but I don't really do any sophisticated GUI interaction. I pretty much just fire up a few terminal sessions and do my work from the command line.
I now want to start experimenting with writing a Mono application.
I get the impression that means I should switch to Gnome. Correct?
No, that would be disastorous. :P
If so, how do I do that? (I don't care about current settings / config / etc.) I can create a new login account if that would be easier.
No need. Just add the GTK++ stuff and you'll be fine.
And then are there any special packages I should be sure to install?
As a first step I just want to get the HelloWorld app they have to compile and run.
Should take you about five minutes. The cool thing is that it runs on any Wintendo boxen that has .net 1.1 or 2.0 installed. Here's mine if you want to compare. I did them back in September... http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/mono/ Just as a test, I compiled and ran the .exe on my SUSE desktop at work, put it on a USB drive, ran it from there on my laptop, then on various Win2K and XP boxes. AFAIK, you can even create GUI apps and run them. I'm not sure if they look as nice as Java, though, since they use the GTK theme. It would be neat if we could use Qt as the GUI toolkit. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
