Linux dot net?

**markman** · May 6th, 2002, 05:33 PM

I remember hearing something about a .NET for linux (like vb.net, asp.net).....

Anyone with some info?

**HarryW** · May 6th, 2002, 05:43 PM

Well I'm not entirely sure what .NET actually is. From what I can tell, it sounds a bit like CORBA.

**JungleMan** · May 6th, 2002, 05:56 PM

What's CORBA?

Anyways, yeah I heard something about an open-source imitation of .NET.

**markman** · May 6th, 2002, 05:56 PM

it was called Open..........something

i think all linux things are now actually

nice sig. its not glaringly ugly, but catchy. good job

**HarryW** · May 6th, 2002, 06:00 PM

CORBA is (I think) Common Object Request Brokering Architecture. I think it's sort of a protocol for objects to talk to each other in a distributed system.

Thanks

I change it every few days...

I might be wrong but I think .NET is something similar to what Harry mentioned, probably some big protocol that kinda ties in a lot of applications and makes them talk to each other in one language. Sounds like it's got potential, but we'll have to wait and see.

Of course that's not a very technical explanation, but, you might get the point...

**HarryW** · May 6th, 2002, 06:13 PM

If it is like CORBA then... well, CORBA has been around for quite some time, and it's not platform dependant. It must be different somehow.

**markman** · May 6th, 2002, 06:26 PM

isnt there an option now to make vb platform independent? read it on some vb.net article (karl?)

Like COM, too. Sounds like yet another MS plot to get tenticles into yet another tech market =). Actually, if it is, MS might be committing suicide, by actually making Linux even more viable as a home desktop operating system =).

That would be a dyslexic Commander Cobra.

I said nothing about flopping, but it could hurt business =).

Linux .NET framework-> http://www.go-mono.com

.NET is a more like Java than CORBA or COM.

CORBA is similar to COM(component object model). They are both specifications for componentisizing software. That is ... instead of building monolithic applications, the application logic is split up in to components which can be reused by other software.

Microsoft's COM has directly influenced, the Bonobo specification (Simian) and XPCOM (mozilla org).

Microsoft's Dot Net is an Environment/Platform for building and running Distributed applications. Dot Net's Development model has reduced the significance of COM based applications. You can build your .NET applications without relying on any of the COM,DCOM based technologies.

I saw a posting somewhere about unix forget from a person HarryW signed off as Harry Woodard-Clarke

Was wandering if it was you or not!

Well they claim it is workable for some limited apps, but I cannot get the damn thing isntalled at all on Red Hat 7.2. Tried the rpm packages and compiling the source, cant get either to work..oh well..

ok my dad works for compaq or now hp who is closly tied with M$. .net is a server OS that allows the server to remember who the user is that loggs in. Like you you sign in the MSN messenger you will see .net at the top. That is just the start in other words it is tieing msn messenger or any site that uses .net together. So say you sign in to msn messenger or microsoft zone .net or something like that, and the say amazon.com switches to a .net server when you go to buy something you wont have to fill in your credit card info or anything it will know you are signed into .net and get all that info from microsoft. In other words it M$ way to take over the server biz to get all these websites to run there servers off the .net server os. Just so there customers dont have to enter info any more to speed up transactions etc. .net is coming out in like a year since my dad has an MSDN subscription we have the betas of it, i think i saw a 32bit one and a 64bit one in there. But yeah that's what .net is. Vb.net on the other had is to write programs to be used with .net servers like web based applications. I doublt M$ would release a .net server look alike for linux it would defeat the pourpose of M$ writeing this os to take over the server market now since they own the desktop market.
