Answer 1

I'm running Monodevelop 2.0 and Mono 2.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 and lambda's and Linq work fine.

Contrary to what Thomas Levesque says, System.Core does exist in Mono. Extension methods, lambda's et al are all supported.

You need to use using System.Linq.

public static void Example1()    
{

    List people = new List() 
    { 
        "Granville", "John", "Rachel", "Betty", 
        "Chandler", "Ross", "Monica" 
    };

    IEnumerable query = from p in people where p.Length > 5 
    orderby p select p;

    foreach (string person in query) 
    {
        Console.WriteLine(person);
    }
}
