In a bid to highlight the ease with which applications can be ported to Linux, the Mono project IBM and Mainsoft will host the 'Race to Linux 2.0'.

Visual Studio developers will have to choose from a list of ASP.Net 2.0 applications at the start of each race and port them using their development environment of choice, such as Mainsoft's Grasshopper 2.0 Technology Preview, Novell's Mono, PHP and Ruby.

The first past the post in each race wins a Nintendo Wii console, while the fastest overall porter takes home $200 in games and accessories. Wii consoles will also be handed out to the fastest port in Mono and Grasshopper.
