MVC Lovers can now run their apps on Linux and Apache!  The release 2.4.2 of the Mono platform from Novell is now able to run ASP.NET MVC applications with this release.  

I am very impressed with the rate of progresss with this group, especially for being an OSS project.  Very ineteresting stuff.  There is also some P/Invoke interoperability via a new tool called M/Invoke.  Be sure to check it out!  

Here are the release notes from http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.4.2:
