Portable.NET

Portable.NET is a suite of Free Software tools to compile and execute applications for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), which is often referred to as .NET. It was originally released by Southern Storm Software and has since become part of the DotGNU project.

The initial target platform was GNU/Linux, but Portable.NET has been known to work under Windows, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, BeOS and Mac OS X, amongst others. It also runs on a variety of CPUs including x86, PPC, ARM, Sparc, s390, Alpha, ia-64, and PARISC.

DotGNU Portable.NET is focused on compatibility with the ECMA-334 and ECMA-335 specifications for C# and CLI, and with Microsoft's commercial CLI implementation. The main goal is to make it easy to write portable application programs which work well both on DotGNU Portable.NET and on Microsoft's .NET platform.

The Portable.NET project has many of the same goals as Mono project that is run by Ximian. Both projects attempt to provide an alternative to .NET technology developing an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET application frameworks and services.
