Yesterday I saw the post entitled Running RSS Bandit on linux? where the author wrote

I am seriously thinking about throwing windows out of the window and moving back to linux for my home desktop.
The programs I use the most, like Eclipse, Firefox or Thunderbird, all run perfect on linux.
But there is one thing that is keeping me from switching right now: I am pretty hooked up to RSS Bandit, the C# based rss aggregator. One very nice feature is for example the possiblity to remotely storing the read state of the feeds.
Now the problem is that this application needs the .NET framework to run. I know there is a linux alternative for the .NET framework called Mono, but I don't have any experience with that.
Maybe this is a silly question, but would it be possible to make RSS Bandit run on linux using Mono?

It's rather flattering to know that at least one person finds RSS Bandit useful enough that it's all that's standing in the way of switching operating systems.

With regards to whether it is possible to run my favorite RSS reader on Mono, I doubt that will be possible. We use COM & Win32 interop in a bunch of places including when communicating with the Internet Explorer component.

Anyone thinking of a port might want to consider trying to get Gecko# to work instead of IE. :)

Well, it may be a little exagerated...<br />But indeed the 4 reasons I use windows as a desktop are:<br /><ul><br /><li>Microsoft Office 2003 (OpenOffice does not really cut it for business use)</li><br /><li>Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004</li><br /><li>Gamez</li><br /><li>RSSBandit</li><br /></ul><br />The Bizarre thing (As I am a Java Guy) is that my .NET collegues use <strong>RSSOwl</strong> !
