Erm... I have to ask, how did you find this mailing list? This list is
specific to the Debian Mono Group. As a user, you wouldn't be compiling
Mono yourself - you'd be using the packages we spend our time carefully
preparing. You don't use "make" you use "apt-get" or "aptitude". If you
want to install a Mono-using app like Tomboy, use "apt-get install
tomboy", and it'll pull in just enough Mono to run it.
