Is there an F# compiler (plugin?) for SharpDevelop? I use SharpDevelop on my netbook for hobby development and it would be cool to program in f# on it.

There's a rather old (Aug 2008) F# Plugin for MonoDevelop. Read more on its Wiki page.

For the F# compiler, download the xip file from the F# May 2009 CTP page. there are certain known issues with running it on Mono, just search for "F# Mono" for more info.

BTW, what's the difference between MonoDevelop and SharpDevelop?

MonoDevelop is part of the Mono project, SharpDevelop is a separate IDE implementation for .net

If you install the F# compiler, SharpDevelop 3.0 automatically supports it. (Oh well. At least people will get a good answer now.)

On Windows, I settled on Visual Studio Shell and the May F# CTP.

Yup that works just as well.
