[Opensim-dev] Opensim: Linux vs. Windows

[lamont cranston]

The hope is that there will be more of the major grids working on Linux, to
assure that development will continue for that platform.
The "free as in freedom" of Linux is important, which includes the ability
for researchers to delve into the OS if they desire.

It is unfortunate that the Opensim project has tied itself to .net, since
that has shackles to  a proprietary OS.
Mono is forced to always be second best, since it must play catch up with
whatever Redmond puts out.
Re-inventing wheels is not the most exciting of projects, and the
develoopers on Mono deserve kudos.
