I am considering developing several console/service type apps for Linux using Mono C#.
My preferred development environment would be Windows with Visual Studio 2013.
Are there any solutions for remote debugging a Mono C# console process running on Linux with Visual Studio 2013?
In an ideal solution a simple F5 would deploy build output to the remote linux host, start the app on the host and then attach a debugger so that I can locally use all the standard debugging capabilities of Visual Studio 2013 (break points, stacktrace, watch window, etc...)
Is this even possible at present? This add-in here (http://www.giesswein-apps.at/mono) seems like a nice solution but it looks fairly new and I can't tell if it's only for RaspberryPi.
I understand Xamarin provides solutions to cross platform mobile development but do they have any solutions that might make C# Linux development easier?

You can start the remote debugger from the command line with the /allow <username> parameter: msvsmon /allow <username@computer> You can add the user to the remote debugger's permissions (in the remote debugger window, Tools > Permissions).
The MonoDebugger add-in you linked definitely works on the PC as well, so it's not limited to the RaspberryPi. I have tried it, but as you said it's still fairly new and I found some bugs e.g. while stepping through a while-loop.
Debugging a remote Mono process should also be possible with MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio, but it's apparently not something you can do out of the box: http://tirania.org/blog//archive/2013/Oct.html
