How to install the latest .NET Mono on Bubba 3

Greetings!

I'm somewhat puzzled as to how one can install the latest .NET Mono (2.8.2 as of this writing) on Bubba 3? As it can be guessed about my question, I'm very new to Linux administration. Naturally I've tried searching the Internet, but with weak results. The best I could find is http://code.google.com/p/ai-contest/iss ... ail?id=101, but I fail with that information.

Has anyone done this? Is it possible? If so, care to share somewhat detailed instructions?

To answer to some of my own questions, typing
apt-get install mono-complete seems to do the trick to some extent. After this typing
mono --version
to the command line, I get
Mono JIT compiler version 2.6.7 (Debian 2.6.7-5)

.
The latest version seem to be a bit difficult if there's to believe Jo Shields

Due to a lack of manpower, the 2.8
packaging work has been on hold for a couple of months. The freeze for
the impeding Debian 6.0 release has also made it hard to work on major
changes.
