To answer my own question, no!

I followed the install instructions, but installed the following libs
libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil libapache2-mod-mono
mono-apache-server2 instead of the instructed ones
libmono-microsoft-visualbasic10.0-cil libapache2-mod-mono
mono-apache-server4.

When trying to view the initial page, I would get a 503, and a quick
look in the logs showed that mobilemyth was trying to run
/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4 which I don't have available on Lucid
(though I do now have mod-mono-server2).  I quickly added a symbol
link from mod-mono-server4 to mod-mono-server2, just to see if it
works, but alas it doesn't.  I get a runtime error, which is pretty
much as far as my debugging abilities take me when I am playing with
mono.

(As a note, Ubuntu seems to have a link from /usr/bin/mod-mono-server
to /usr/bin/mod-mono-server2.  For compatibility with any future
versions of mono, should you code be referring to the generic
mod-mono-server name instead?)

Maybe I should just find some PPAs with the later version of mono
available, but I don't want to bugger up my backend machine too much!

Sounds like a great app though, keep up the good work.
