In my experience, in order to run MARCEdit in Linux you need to use Mono (and even then I found it not stable). Some folks have reservations about using Mono because Microsoft may use any patents on C# against Mono and Linux, though after the patent agreement between Microsoft and Novell (where the lead developer of Mono works), Novell customers are protected. I don't know where to stand on the Mono controversy, but it's something to consider. I would not like to see a Mono app be the main MARC editor for Koha, though I'd be happy if other folks had it as an option, because it is a really good MARC editor. --Jason
