Yes, but it's not proper asp. If you install asp functionality into your Linux webserver you have not one jot of support from Microsoft, who change the spec of their programming languages once a year. You only get support from a small group of volunteer programmers who have to keep up with whatever features MS are offering. It's not the same at all.

You almost right but a GNU verion of asp which is legal is available and will run on apachee and many other server types and is not resticted by os either.
Tom :o) - i hope you all realise im only battleing it out for asp cos i felt like it i realy don't actually care.

Ok Tom... slight problem here... can you spot it? Win98 = M$, ASP = M$. Now I'm not 100% sure about this as i only "fiddle" with our infrastructure at work, but I'm almost sure that ASP requires a M$ based set up using things such as IIS. All requiring a rather expensive set of licences for it to be used officially and to be supported.
Now PHP will run on "anything", *nix/Mac use it as standard, M$ doesn't as it uses it's own technology ie. ASP. Now you can use ASP on *nix, but why? If other platforms use a freely availbale, reliable and powerful opensourcer language not requiring any expensive licencing fees or set up costs, why go to all the hassle to get an over rated bulky M$ moster to run on them? Could you imagine the mess of crossing Apache with ASP?
ASP "does" tie you to M$, it's an M$ owned technology as is anything ending in .NET (also including MSXML, VbSCript, JScript). All of these were designed by M$ to run on M$ appz, infrastructures and OS's.

More to do with a fried brain! Both statements are correct, just not in the gramatical sense! It does come down to cost and preference, but the current prefered technology is PHP as the world is waiting for .NET to deliver it's promisies! I think that makes more sense?

Given the first sentence, I'll assume the last statement is ironic. :)
