What development tools or programming languages can you use on the N810? Can you use .NET or Perl? Can you run a website on it?

Yes and yes. Yes.

I don't know that you can develop .NET on the tablet, but you can definitely develop on PC, and run on tablet.
Perl, of course, is interpreted, so all you need is a text editor (your choice of emacs, vi, joe, pine, or a handful of graphical ones) and the perl interpreter.
And you can run apache or thttpd or probably one or two other web servers.

Python is very popular, it seems. And C, of course. Not much LISP going on, I'm afraid. Java (in the form of Jalimo) is about to some level of functionality; as I understand it, you could develop apps at this point and have them run, by avoiding non-implemented regions of GNU classpath. And tons of shell, awk, sed, etc. scripting, of course, just to stick stuff together in classic UNIX fashion.

I use .NET currently so that would be preferred, but how do you run .NET on Linux? I don't mind if I have to develop on a PC first. Also in .NET 2.0 you can run vb as compiled or interpreted.

You can switch the tablet from "blue-pill" to "red pill"-mode (from "safe packages" to "maybe-you-brick-your-tablet-by-installing-this-but-you-want-to-so-we-let-you"-mode, btw. it is a very funny way the change is implemented, search the forum for it if you like ).
Then you can install g++...
