Razor has about 5% chance working on Mono because how it was programmed.

Mainly because it uses windows calls and C++ to name a few.

So it would have to be redone to work on Mono and I doubt that will happen for the simple fact.

There isn't a port on Linux that is the current client, so it would be a waste of time.

I also would like to add the fact that to my knowlege I didn't think the extra stuff that KUOC was programmed in could be ported to Linux.

So the only thing I know that will work are programs built on 100$ .NET as thats the only thing Mono will understand.

Last time I looked, DirectDraw, DirectX langs were not .NET at least not in the current version ( in the future that might change ).

All depends on if well programmers use the .NET Framework as a base to build a commercial program.

As free products are not going to decide that :-)
