Does anyone know of a program that lets you run ASP on linux? I know theirs chiliASP and all of that but does anyone know a free one that does basically the same thing? Any help is appreciated

thanks

Maybe it is better to go for PHP? I don't know of a free asp app.

Another free one is iASP, which is both a free and commercial solution. It fully implements ASP along the same lines as ChilliSoft ASP, and even reproduces COM functionality.

You can get it from www.halcyonsoft.com/products/iasp.asp

To be perfectly honest though, Waldo has a very valid point, why don't you try PHP ?
