[Sussex] Scary PC fry-up

[Angelo Servini]

On another note I'm now setting up at home to look at C# (both Gentoo and
Win2k) though I have had no success at getting gentoo to emerge Mono and
MonoDevelop however.  It keeps saying that it is not available (and
something about the emerge tree being masked) - though the Package database
at gentoo says it is available.

I'm also going to look at VB.net (hack--ptoo!) I'm going to have to wash my
mouth out now!.
