Port under Mono

Miguel de Icaza partially carried Paint.NET under the infrastructure Mono, an implementation Open Source of the infrastructure .NET. It succeeded in making function a modified version of Paint.NET version 2.1 pennies Linux. In the long term, and in spite of the fact that this version is only under development, the little of required efforts to this conversion compared with the number of functionalities obtained makes think of Miguel de Icaza who a complete port is a realizable objective.

Paint.NET portable version

Framasoft launched a project of applications which can be put without installation on Clé USB and of this fact usable starting from the key on any computer (Framakey). Paint.NET belongs to the list of the applications under the name of PortablePaint.NET.
