How does one go about installing a recent version of mono on a linux distro other than Novell's Suse?
http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page promises a "Linux" download, but they 'only' offer downloads for Suse and links to outdated versions of mono ( < version 2).
I have a compiler and am not afraid to use it … but would feel much better if someone could point me to a "HowTo install Mono on Debian/Ubuntu" description or show me where to download a .deb of a recent version.

From http://www.mono-project.com/Other_Downloads:
So just
apt-get install mono-devel
, perhaps?UPDATE: The version of Mono that you'll get from Ubuntu 8.04 is 1.2.6, whereas you're probably looking for 2.0.1, which comes with 9.04. Probably your best bet is to upgrade to Jaunty. There's a possibility that downloading the Jaunty
.deb
and installing it on your machine will work, but I wouldn't bet on it.
