Linux flavors often have a dual boot facility as part of the install, so that you can reboot into Linux or into Windows depending on what programs you want to run.
For example, ubuntu, offers to install grub right from the getgo. grub (another one is lilo) allows you to specify which OS you want to boot. This requires a free disk partition for Linux.
You can install VMware or other virtual system software packages. Also requires at least one separate disk partition for each OS. This allows both Linux and Windows to run at the "same" time.
If you only have Linux installed on your box you may not be able to run your Windows apps under wine - wine is the least among the choices here. wine provides a windows framework under linux. It seems to work for older apps, but anything that is a newer major windows app has caused me problems in the past. YMMV.
edit -
implicit assumption in the above - you left windows installed, and added another hard drive or partition. I don't know enough about wine to comment beyond some tinkering with it.

SYNOPSIS
mono-asp-apps command [options]
DESCRIPTION
The 'mono-asp-apps' command is useful on systems which install applications from RPM packages and when the RPM packages have been created
according to the Mono RPM packaging guidelines for ASP.NET applications.
The utility allows one to initialize, enable, disable and start installed applications. Note that you do not use this utility to manage
applications hosted and managed by the Apache (or other) web server, only by xsp.
Note that this utility is useful only on systems where at least one application packaged according to the Mono ASP.NET 2.0 RPM packaging
guidelines has been installed.
COMMANDS
The commands which take an application name, require the it to be one of the registered names. See the `list` command below.
init APPLICATION_NAME
Initializes the application named APPLICATION_NAME, if it hasn't been done already. Initialization actions performed are applica-
tion specific, but may include creating databases and populating them, creating directories, downloading files etc.
enable APPLICATION_NAME
Enables APPLICATION_NAME for automatic start when XSP is started as part of the system bootup process.
disable APPLICATION_NAME
Disables APPLICATION_NAME, so that it is not started automatically when XSP is started as part of the system bootup process.
start APPLICATION_NAME [server_options]
Manually starts the xsp2 process passing the configuration of APPLICATION_NAME to the xsp2 process. Applications may ship with a
bundled start script which will be used instead of xsp2 if present. server_options are passed verbatim to the server process.
list Lists all the applications known to the utility.
