The question is "interface".

Interface from what? From Windows? Because c# runs under Linux as well.

If you are talking server applications, then you can write web services
interfaces to send and receive the results of methods. At that point,
those applications are universally accessible from any client capable of
connecting to the server with http.

As far as development with c# on Linux:

http://www.go-mono.com

Install the mono packages and the monodevelop IDE.

The key question is the UI.

The Windows.Forms assembly is supported in mono/Linux ( mono also runs on
OSX by the way ), but up to a point...then you may want to consider a more
native Linux toolkit such as gtk#.
