I finally got around to playing with Monoppix and as promised, I'm blogging my experience. 

I thought it was a great way to play with Mono.  I was able to boot up and compile a hello world app within minutes.  No winforms support yet, but from what I understand that's not easy to do anywhere yet. I know this post isn't very meaty, but that's about the extent of what I did.  I'm still interested in getting a linux server setup and working on ASP.net on Linux.
