using Mono installed in Linux

[Giorgio]

When I first run Wine it asks for Mono package and in small window you can read "it is recommended to use your distribution's package instead".
I've Mono package installed and I had a look at https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono as suggested but I don't understand how to use Mono I have.

OpenMandriva Linux 2014.2 64 bit, WinE 1.8.1

You need wine-mono, not Linux mono. Some distros package wine-mono, and if yours does, install it. If not, follow the instructions on the wiki to install wine-mono manually.

I checked and my distribution don't package wine-mono then I'll install it manually.

I've similar question for Gecko and I've wine-gecko 2.24 installed in linux, can I use it for Wine?

[dimesio]

2.24 is too old for 1.8.1. You need wine-gecko 2.40. https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

Ok.
I could ask for an update of wine-gecko. But it's not so clear to me if we have real improvements using wine-gecko installed in Linux. If not is much more simple to install wine-gecko in Wine.
