[Icon-tech] what Linux distribution does Levelstart use?

[louis at braillesoft.net]

Hi. Mono is basically Linux's attempt to run .NET and .NET CF programs 
written in C# or Visual Basic.net. You can find out more at 
http://www.mono-project.com. Level Star's products don't yet support this 
exciting software, but hopefully there'll be  an upgrade that does so! 
This'll mean BraillePlus and Icons will be able to run more softwares. HTH.
