[K12OSN] Which .NET for Linux - Windows Apps in Linux

[Luis Montes]

I believe .NET is just for the server Renaissance Place. The client 
requires something called "RLI print plugin" I doubt it has a linux 
version, but I could be wrong.  I'd personally avoid anything that 
required .NET on the client.

Educational apps should be built on open standards. What's wrong with 
LAMP or J2EE backends with a web/AJAX front-end?

We went with RDesktop for those, and then Seamless RDP as well. It was working nice, then I did some research on the software itself and discovered Renaissance Place. It's a web version of Accelerated Reader, all you need is Java, Flash, and .Net. My question is which .NET would any of you reccomend? DOTGNU or MONO, I don't see a difference. I'm really happy I convinced the new librarian to switch to this next year, now I need to make it work. All three schools will be using one app (finally), which means one server for me, and multiplatform use. Going to be a long summer, the reading app will need a web server, the library app is becoming a web app, and the student information is becoming a web app. Seems like the only thing students and teachers will run local might be office suite software. Yea central management!
