Mainsoft, unveil grasshopper. Here is what they say about it :

Grasshopper, the Developer edition of Visual MainWin® for J2EE™, is a Visual Studio .NET® plug-in, which enables you to use C# or Visual Basic .NET® to develop, debug and deploy Web applications and Web services that run on Microsoft® Windows®, Linux® and any Java™-enabled platform. Grasshopper supports single-source code development, so you can develop an ASP.NET application that will compile and run on multiple platforms. Grasshopper bundles the Apache Tomcat application server and PostgreSQL database, so you get a complete cross-platform Visual Studio development environment for any platform running Apache Tomcat.

Here is the link to the actual article that demo's a quick linux app - created in .net, part of the Developer micro site.
