It would be hilarious if it became easier to install .NET on Linux than it is to install Java.

Or easier to install .NET on linux that it is on Windows for that matter...

  • How? Recent version of Windows come with recent versions of .Net out of the box. How would you 'win' here?

    The core clr is supposed to be bundled as far as I understand, so it'll be just another dependency of your application: You don't even NEED to install .Net (on the system/system-wide) anymore.

    • Recent versions of windows come with whatever version of .net was stable at the time, in order to upgrade you have to download from msdn. This vs. `sudo apt-get install upgrade` etc.

      The announcement of the windows package management features should help this though.

    • Ever tried to install an update to .net and powershell automatically without a restart remotely?

      You need the wrappers of defined state or sccm just to survive. Winrm can't even touch it. (except through ugly as sin scheduled commands)
