  Linux update :
  H. kekekeks conjured, and conjured a small autoswitch monitoring their git repository. You can always get a fresh build for Ubuntu and Debian in ppa . This package is called monodevelop-latest. They will also periodically collect the snapshots they upload for download. Integration with NUnit, like, started up. If something does not start or someone needs some plug-in that is not included in the assembly - kick kekekeks :)
