Actually they converted it to Java (using one of their products) in order to run it on Linux, and yes it was an older version (a 2.x flavor at the time if I recall correctly)

Heard of "Grasshopper"?  They are running DNN on Linux: http://dev.mainsoft.com/

That site itself is running DNN on a Linux backend.  Not really sure what version of DNN though, appears to be an older one.

Not sure if this would qualify as running DNN on Linux.  Grasshopper is Mainsofts community edition of their tool to convert .NET code to Java.  So, it is really just a port of DNN.

JUst noticed Jeremy's reply.  Sorry for being redundant.

there are a few areas which need addressing first to make it possible to run on linux. The primary issue is that dnn assumes a windows based file system, but there are tentative plans for a FileSystem API to be added that allows us to abstract this area out. This should allow alternative file systems to host dnn such as Mesh/Linux. I'm not sure when this will be looked at.

 Hey Robert,

Yes, it is possible to run DNN on Mono, but I haven't seen any companies that offer that as a solution.  We have a linux guru who works for us who actually managed to make it mostly work, however, the question we kept asking was "Why the heck would you want to?".  It pretty much felt like one hack layered upon another.

Because some of us who are .NET developers who like DNN that don't want to pay the money for Windows Server can use a free Linux server distro to join in all the fun.
