Mono 2.10.4 parallel environment debian/ubuntu package

Mono parallel

The new Mono 2.10.4 is out and comes with lots of bugfixes. To make it easier to get the latest and greatest on your ubuntu/debian machines, I have created a deb package which I will share with you.

Once downloaded, the package installs to “/opt/mono-2.10″.

You can download the mono 2.10.4 debian/ubuntu package here.
