You can use mono to run C# applications on linux. I believe 3.5 is the latest framework that is supported however. You can check it out here: Mono Project

    @venkateshyeluri you are not suppose to install pirated version of windows server :) – Habib Apr 06 '12 at 17:11
  • Alright I will purchase a licensed version. Will I require to install mono and recompile my programs using mono in my windows server? – venka Apr 06 '12 at 17:15
  • No, as long as you install .Net on your server, your programs will run fine. – tier1 Apr 06 '12 at 21:06

Just to add (on top of the possible duplicate and related to 4.0)...

The easiest way to describe what Mono currently supports is: 
Everything in .NET 4.0 except WPF, EntityFramework and WF, limited WCF.
