Two machines stuck on Installing Updates (at the same point)

That is where Microsoft is porting .net to be able to be worked on in Linux.

Announcing .NET 2015 - .NET as Open Source, .NET on Mac and Linux, and Visual Studio Community[img height=436 width=800]http://www.hanselman.com/blog/content/binary/Windows-Live-Writer/Announcing-.NET-in-your-Editor-of-Choice_E16B/image_3379f52c-2764-4a61-8b29-7bff2dc68dde.png[/img]

So I started to investigate .NET Core, but ran into the same exact issue... check out the "Installing .NET Core on Linux" documentation:

http://dotnet.readthedocs.org/en/latest/...linux.html

it asks me to install the latest mono, and points me to more Debian packages.

Code:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete

but reading over that guide it states the .NET 5 Core team is using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, so they're including Debian repos under Ubuntu as well... it seems like this is pretty much unavoidable if I want to keep to LTS, but develop using the latest tools. I mean I was able to get Visual Studio Code (their cross platform editor) installed and running without issue (it was just a zip). But now I'm at another road block.

anyone have any other suggestions?
