There are numerous libraries providing Linq capabilities to C# code interacting with a MySql database. Which one of them is the most stable and usable on Mono?
Background (mostly irrelevant): I have a simple C# (.Net 2.0) program updating values in a MySql database. It is executed nightly via a cron job and runs on a Pentium 3 450Mhz, Linux + Mono. I want to rewrite it using Linq (.Net 3.5) mostly as an exercise (I have not yet used Linq).

The only (free) linq provider for MySql is DbLinq, and I believe it is a long way from production-ready.
There is also MyDirect.Net which is commercial, but I have heard mixed reviews of it's capability.
I've read that MySql will be implementing the Linq to Entities API for the 5.3 version of the .net connector, but I don't know if there's even a timeline for that. In fact, MySql has been totally silent about Entity Framework support for months.
Addendum: The latest release of the MySql Connector/Net 6.0 has support for the EF according to the release notes. I have no idea how stable/useful this is, so I'd love to hear from anybody who have tried it.
