A:
Mono is the way to run .NET code on other platforms other than Windows.
The Mono folks maintain a basic guide for cross-platform .NET development here: http://www.mono-project.com/Guidelines%3AApplication%5FPortability

Compatibility between .NET on Windows and on Linux (via Mono) is mostly in the area of what .NET frameworks are provided by Mono. Here's a (slightly out-of-date) chart: http://www.mono-project.com/Compatibility

So if your .NET application uses one of the unsupported frameworks, you'll need to find more cross-platform alternatives for those pieces. *However*, Mono means you won't need to switch languages and you can even still develop and compile on Windows if you prefer.

When you chose .NET, you made a decision to be Windows specific. Now you only have a chance to try out cross platform CLR implementation such as Mono. And it is lucky that Mono grows so fast.
