You don't want to bet your product on a product which is not officially supported,
don't you? From what I know .NET is not officially supported on *UNIX*.

So, face your requirements and go for something which is guaranteed to work.

What are C/S and B/S modes? Clint mode, business mode?

If you are talking about normal GUIs (rich client), then there are other good approaces:
- Dolphin Smalltalk has exellent GUI.
- Java GUI is known to be slow and have non-native look and feel.
It is no longer true. Take a look at Eclipse SWT approach. SWT is from IBM...
SWT provides native widget support in Java apps.SWT application will not look any differnt
from .NET or native win32 app. GUI in Java with SWT is smaller and faster then Swing.
- Delphi is a good alternative.

I think you answered yourself: .NET does not fit.
J2EE is more appropriate.
