re. Installing Mono on SuSE Linux with Red Carpet March 13, 2005

I was hunting around for some information on Mono dependancies when I found this article by Kevin Shockey:

Installing Mono on SuSE Linux with Red Carpet

Interesting - but one subtle flaw. The ZLM client components - also known as Red Carpet - are available online and they are open source - source hosted at cvs.gnome.org.

I mailed Kevin:

Kevin

I’ve just read your article from the end of last year - http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6123 - and I thought it was particularly interesting.

One thing to note - did you know that the ZENworks Linux Management client components - also known as Red Carpet - are 100% open source and available without downloading ZENworks Linux Management?

We have the RPMs for many platforms at ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/redcarpet2 - certainly fast and easy.

Also we have the public Red Carpet server http://red-carpet.ximian.com which provides community updates - including those for Mono.

Finally we have another open source project - Open Carpet - which lets developers host their updates to be consumed by the Red Carpet/ZLM client components - http://opencarpet.org

Let me know if I can be of any further help - and please feel free to reference this data in the future.

Let’s see if this gets a response. I’m keen to evangelise the benefits of OpenCarpet for developers and hacker teams.

Well - as usual it’s the week before Novell BrainShare and it’s hectic.

As I write I am in the Novell offices in our Product Management War Room building servers, clients and demos for the two ZENworks keynotes.

I’m also presenting three breakout sessions:

IO115 ZENworks Overview and Futures
TUT215 Managing Novell Linux Desktop with ZENworks Linux Management
TUT316 Advanced ZENworks Linux Management deployment and best practices

Information on these sessions is on the BrainShare breakout session site
