We have developed a server object extension in Visual Studio 2010 using .NET 3.5 Framework, and successfully deployed to the ArcGIS Server 10.1 hosted on a windows box. However, when we try to deploy it to our linux server, it complains that the DLL is not found in the .SOE file, which actually contains. Is it possible to deploy a .NET SOE on a linux box? If so, what's the steps to deploy it?

Thanks.

Under normal circumstances, you need Mono to run .NET applications on a Linux server.
But this is a component running under ArcGIS which is not a normal circumstance and I doubt that they would support execution of Mono-based code on Linux.

I agree with Mike. 

If you are developing for Linux then you best bet is to either use C++ or Java for SOE development.
