Hey NETfriends!
So I see a few people have viewed the post with no replies so I figured I'd give an update.

I backed off the Android platform for the time being and decided to work with the mac.

I was correct that the 10.5.8 operating system would not allow the download of the mono toolchain.

I purchased the Snow Leopard (v 10.6.3) from apple for about $21 and then upgraded even further to OS X Mavericks (v 10.9.2 which is the current OS X at time of this post). Xcode and Xamarin Studio both downloaded after my updates with no issues.

After successfully getting those downloaded, I took a break to learn some C#.

For those that are as new to this as I am, SchoolFreeWare.com offers some great tutorials on learning the programming languages.

For those interested..

I will eventually turn the netbook into an android OS and I will also start experimenting with a chromebook once I get my hands on one and will keep you posted on my netduino experience and how I intertwine everything. 

I am very interested in hearing if anyone else has experimented with their netduinos and these platforms so please post and share your experiences!

Thanks and happy adventures!
