Linux amd64 is the dominate internet serving platform; supporting a non-free OS for the benefit of a single test entry seems dumb. I'm all for a Mono entry however.

I don't think it seems dumb. It would be a very useful comparison between platforms. Stackoverlfow runs on .Net and Windows servers and they say it's very performant. So why not compare with other frameworks on the same hardware.

Voidlogic is right that we are waiting to get a pull request that will include some .Net frameworks [1]. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. We do want to include .Net. We will test on Mono to start.

We also want to test on .Net's native Windows platform. But we need to work on the testing platform we've built in order to automate a Windows server in the same way we presently automate a Linux server.

I like the looks of that! Could I convince you to put together a test as a pull request? :)

I can't promise to deliver but I'll sure look into it this weekend =)

Linux may be the dominant platform, but that doesn't mean Windows doesn't have a very significant share either: http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/operating_system/al...
