wine users - Feb 2006 - .NET Framework?

Hello, I'm new :)

I'm trying to install .NET Framework on my Fedora Core4 Box, with no
success.. is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK not yet.
The microsoft .Net - Runtime is very windows-specific and hooks quite
deeply in the system.
Even windows.Forms is not really a GUI-toolkit but more a wrapper around
GDI(+).

So i do not suspect this to work. 
And because that sort of non-managed code is in many .net-programs most
of them are simply not portable yet.

Pure .Net-programs should be runnable in mono or GNU Portable .Net.

greetings, 
Georgy

Hah, is there such a thing???  I think if someone didn't *intend* for an
app to run cross-platform, it's actually *worse* than a static Win32 app
(at least the static, compiled app has some chance of working under Wine).

My current nemesis in the .NET world is Auctiva's MrPoster.  And since
**NO-ONE** seems interested in making a Linux-compatable offline posting
tool for eBay, I don't think I'll ever be able to move my brother's
system
off Windows.  (I'm not a programmer, before someone suggests I should write
one).

Of course, Tax software is one other major headache that keeps Windows
partitions around.
