Does Mono run with PROXMOX? If I install Ubuntu 10.4 LTS it should have Mono in it and I wondered if it will work.
Does MONO RUN with PROXMOX

I thought it would. I understand you worked on Mono. Great job with Proxmox, I haven't had any issues that had no answer. I will install the OpenVZ template for Ubuntu 10.4 (it is suposed to have Mono) and go from there. Have a great day.
Yes, I wrote the first just in time compiler for mono - together with Paolo and Miguel. But that was about 7 years ago.
Well, I am 100% sure it will run inside a KVM VM. Please can you report your results with OpenVZ and Mono?
Yes Mono does run and in a container. My notes as follows to install Ubuntu 10.04 LAMP stack. Ubuntu 10.04 has current Mono. The link also has a plain Ubuntu 10.04 if you want. Read all the comments and particulary the ones that say Ubuntu 10.04 config files have a few problems yet and Ubuntu 10.04 may not be ready yet for production. I did find some instructions for adding Mono to Debian Lenny but I have not tried them yet.
Dietmar, I think the guy who made the templates would be willing to donate them to the Proxmox set. Summary notes as follows:
Install Ubuntu 10.04 lamp template:
The easiest install for linux is on Ubuintu 10.04
Follow this link for a template #http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/download-ubuntu-10-04-openvz-templates/
You need to log onto the proxmox cluster controler CC, and do the download
Follow these instructions #http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/1591-OpenVZ-templates but use the blog site above for the source of Ubuntu 10.04 LAMP
CD /var/lib/vz/templkate/cache
wget http://bodhizazen.fivebean.net/openvz/ubuntu-10.04-lamp_10.04_i386.tar.gz
DO NOT UNPACK
Couple of notes, you will need to add WGET after the template is created and you add a VE. Use console then apt-get install wget
Also remember to change your MYSQl PASSWORD for security Default root password is blank)
mysqladmin -u root password yourpassword here
Mono runs normally in console mode but this can time out with no activity. I found multiple ways of starting the Mono job as a service, but the following seems to work (applogize to the author I can not find his link) and is the shortest for code:
To start your Mono app, make sure you are in the app's bin directory by adding the following to /etc/rc.local
cd /etc/apt/yourapp/yourapp/bin
mono yourapp.exe > /var/log/yourapp.log 2>&1 &
After you restart the VE your app should be running until stopped or a fatal error occurs. The log is very useful and the Mono site has logging option details.
Thanks so much, and hope this helps others trying Mono.
