I agree that PHP is way better than ASP 3.0 in the interpreted language family. But if you want to look further: under Linux you can't code .NET websites.
I saw that they where building something for linux but it's still in development.

I'm actually building a web portal in .NET with MySQL or SQL Server or Access as the backend Database and I can say that compiled language run really fast.

For those who are still coding in ASP 3.0 I strongly suggest that you start now coding in .NET cause in 2006 with Windows Longhorn it will be the standard backend coding engine. The entire OS is coded with .NET framework 2.0

By the way I really love what PHP 5 looks like now with it's class structures and all the new features. But it still an interpreted language and IMHO compiled softwares are running better than interpreted softwares.

Now for those who say that Linux is better as a webserver. I admit that I really like being able to set CHMOD manually with my FTP client and it should be the same on Windows or they should think about something to do the same.
Now for the Networking under Windows: if you all get Windows 2003 Entreprise Server running someday you will notice that Active Directory is a strong tool.

The only weakness about Linux is that too much people are working on it on different names. Fedora, Mandrake, Knoppix, Red Hat... etc... etc...

When I look at what Apple did with Unix (Mac OS X) I'm asking myself how many time it will take to get something similar to that strong OS.

Sorry to be out off topic

you so true, but have you looked into the Zend Performance Suite. I haven't looked into the priceing of .net, ( if it not free ). but server cost and off cause code supporter and programs ( freeware ) is kind of low.

I haven't done any testing but if the $1875 price on Zend Performance Suite it may be worth looking at.

Is that not Mono? If so, it's been released.

.NET is free like PHP it's only Visual Studio.NET who cost something.
You don't need Visual Studio.NEt to code in .NET, all you need is the framework .NET installed on your computer, or Mono if you are under Linux.
After that, for coding you need a webtool to start coding and microsoft are giving one free.

WebMatrix

By the way Visual Studio.NET 2005 will offer a light version of it's software wich will be free. Like for SQL Server Yukon wich u can already download in beta

After that all you need to know is that you need to compile your code to make it work

thankz will chick it out.

By the way I always asked myself what Zend Performance Suite whas for?
I installed it one time and I still ask myself what it can do more.
