Has ASP been installed?

If we do install ASP it will be ASP.net through mod_mono. Standard ASP is useless.

Yay! For a while I thought we were actually going to install standard ASP! Well, maybe now I could put my copy of Visual Web Developer Express to work...

whats the difference between asp and asp net in terms of usability? I mean asp essentially can do anything php can, but I don't see why asp net is better then regular asp. It just uses the net framework?

ASP / ASP.NET can share code as I have developt both...but ASP.NET does bring a greater advantage to the terms of bringing it to close with PHP

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Server_Pages
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP

They are all free and I can code in all three...so it dosnt make anything different for me

Easy. It all comes to the power of the .NET framework. First of all, ASP.NET allows people to program in C# and VB.NET (and more), which are more powerful than ASP Regular's VBScript and JScript. Also, ASP.NET is control and event based, which essentially makes it similar to Windows application development.

Simply put, it's easier and more powerful.

I've only used ASP mostly because I've never seen a free asp.net host. I've programmed in php,perl, asp, java, javascript and usually find that I can generally accomplish anything with a mixture of two or more of these languages if necessary. PHP + JS in most cases can do anything.
