[Klug-general] Now here's a funny thing.

[Daniel Ellis]

On Linux a .NET application is not loaded directly by OS.  Think of a .NET
application just like java.  But instead of using java to load a .jar file,
you use mono to load the .exe file.

If the OS knows about the content of an exe it can automatically pass it to
mono.  See this link to configure Linux to detect a .NET exe and start it
automatically:-
