Seems like it was a couple of months ago I saw an article or something (I think on sourceforge) for a development project to port the .net platform to linux. I was just wondering if anybody knew anything about it because I prefer writing in C# rather than regular C/++ because it's a lot easier. If anyone has any info or links it would be much appreciated.

The project is called "Mono". There is a lot of promise in this project, and is being closely watched by every developer in the industry. The team that make up the mono-project have worked really hard recently, and have make extensive advancements.
