Apache can't be compared to ASP.Net...apache is a web server, not a
programming framework.. You don't program apache you just run your code on
it. Using apache you could program in PHP, JSP or Perl (and countless
others), which is the right comparison to ASP.Net.

As far as learning. Do you have windows XP pro or 2000? if so you have
everything you need that costs money. IIS is free and comes with them. The
.Net framework is a free download, and there are numerous tools, such as
WebMatrix which are free. That's all you need. Even if you don't have XP
pro or 2000, WebMatrix has a built-in web server (Free) that you can use for
other/older windows operating systems.

Not to sound like an ass, but I wouldnt' agree with anything you said in
this last post ;) While i love .net, I wouldn't necessarily call it
quicker/faster ...and I wouldn't call php/jsp/perl slower harder or
cheaper. They are all pretty comparable....they do have their strength and
weaknesses. ASP.Net and JSP are both pretty damn powerful....I think
ASP.Net is a riot to program in and suggest you try it...like I said, it
shouldn't cost you anything...
