What *nix needs is an OWIN compatible web server.

You can run OWIN apps self-hosted on Mono/*nix. Here's my write-up for doing that on Heroku: http://friism.com/running-owin-katana-apps-on-heroku

I've heard Nowin runs well on Mono (haven't tried it yet myself). https://github.com/Bobris/Nowin

Miguel tweeted this a week ago:
NoWin, Nancy, SignalR & Lego on the raspberry pi:
From the FAQ: https://github.com/owin/owin/wiki/faq - OWIN is inspired by rack, WSGI and node.js.
I'd say there are plenty of alternatives to OWIN (and the .Net stack) for *nix. That's probably why there's not much interest around Mono, too.
There is also Fos (FastCgi Owin Server) https://github.com/mzabani/Fos

Neat! It even almost works! http://i.imgur.com/f1HjoNW.png
SO close...
Looks like the Owin dependencies didn't come down - does NuGet run under MonoDevelop?

No, can't compile the add-in nor the cli program itself :(
NuGet.exe should run on Mono 3.2.x - http://nuget.org/nuget.exe

It may run but it won't compile. I'm no fan of Gentoo, but if it's open source I ought to be able to reproduce the binary with those sources.
Edit: An open source program must never depend on binaries in the build process where those binaries can't themselves be rebuilt from source. Again, I'm not a zealot but as a developer I see dependencies on arbitrary binaries as damage and try to work around them.
