thinks oO0(Why the hell would anyone want to use asp.net ??)

OK,

Depending on how happy you are with setting systems up and configuring 
things in a text based install I would recomment RedHat 8.0 for a 
graphical installer or Debian for a textual installer...

Personally i use Debian 3.0, it does everything I need it to do and then 
some.. has a very powerful package manager.

RedHat is much easier to get on with as a newcommer (i find) as most of 
if it point and click.. Package management is still quite good, but not 
up to the same level as Debians apt system. (sorry RH peeps)


Apache is the only web server i would use for linux, I know how to use 
it.. it is free and it works..

I (at a quick search) could not find any servers for linux that would 
support asp.net, you may have more luck than me on google...

HTH

P.S. Where are you ?
