But is the VB.Net language going to be ported, or just C#?
just C#, but an assembly written in VB will run on the .NET framwork regardless.
Despite my initial skepticism, I'm still keeping a watch on .NET, and the project to port it to Linux looks to be like a sound move.
Well, once you've ported it to Linux it's an easy step to other Unix variants such as Solaris (which is considered the fastest and most stable server platform...on SPARC anyway).
The source code in your language is platform-independent, since it gets compiled down to the CLR (common language runtime) which then optimises it and does the back-end compile on the target system (Windows at the moment). There are detailed specs available for the code, so theoretically, you compile something on Windows for .NET and you can run it, unchanged, on Linux.
Not something to be sniffed at, since it looks a hell of a lot more powerful than Java.
