That is naturaly the first important thing. The second is some kind of logic and calling things *.exe points to a Microsoft enviroment, no matter how wrong that is.
Can someone please explain how it makes sense to use a framework intended for writing code that runs on multiple operating systems (Mono) to write tools used specifically on Linux, and on a specific distro at that?
