Vernon,
I think I've seen where some folks were running SharpDevelop on Mono
http://sharpdevelop.net/opensource/sd/
http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:Linux

That should work for your C# coding...
And the Express version (and/or free VSX shell) MIGHT run on Mono. Don't 
know.
As far as the Express versions of VisualStudio, last I heard,  they will 
not host the Python Tools for Visual Studio, BUT...
you don't really need those anyway.
I had a link somewhere to an article on creating a "debug project" in 
VS, where you basically just make a project out of the exe, and point 
the debugger to it. Works fine, but I haven't done it in a good while...
If I run across it I'll drop you a line.

The free VSX Shell WILL host the tools, allowing for IronPython dev and 
debugging, etc, I'm pretty sure, and it MAY run on Mono... not sure. 
Haven't tried it myself.
