In order for ASP.NET to keep moving in the right direction and become widely accepted in the developer community, it is essential that it can be hosted on a variety of platforms - not limited to an IIS machine running .NET. Thankfully, the Mono Project has already provided some great tools for doing this on Apache... the most widely used web server.
Adding to this list, yesterday MainSoft released Grasshopper, a technology that allows ASP.NET sites to be compiled into Java byte code and then deployed on a Java Virtual Machine, on essentially any platform that supports JVM! (Actually, Grasshopper is based on the Mono classes) Grasshopper also has some great debugging capabilities built right into Visual Studio, making cross-platform development that much easier.
