"Hello World" program runs fine.

But I can't use Linq.

using System. doesn't show Linq option.

You may need to right-click on your project in the solution view, do Options, Build, General, and set your Target Runtime to Mono / .Net 3.5 or bigger.

Then you can right-click references, do Edit References, and add a reference to System.Core to your project.
