Linux and .Net
I'm upgrading some industrial equipment. I plan to use a PC running Linux for the main control computer. Part of the upgrade involves replacing the legacy laser controller with a new, modern one. The new, modern replacement that I have found apparently is only operable through a .Net API--it has serial and remote TCP/IP interfaces, but they are crippled compared to the capabilities that are available through the API methods.
From TFM: Code:
The API is implemented in Microsoft C# language and is distributed as Windows .Net assemblies. It boggles the mind that a company would use .Net to do this for a piece of industrial equipment that is expected to have a 20 year lifespan. |
Mono is an open-source implementation of .net for Linux.

See if you can consider using VirtualBox with .Net on it !
