Apache.org has a free web server. The most widely used on the internet, actually. If you are familiar with linux, you should have no problem installing it.
i'm downloading linux as I speak and want to know if apache will run .asp code....i program in classic asp and need a web server in linux to run .asp.....please help
Chilisoft used to make an ASP engine that would run in linux/unix environments. I think I heard that Sun bought them out, though. Sun probably charges for it. The Cheat is right. You should just use PHP. For simple to mid-level web applications you can't beat it.
I am rather supprised asp.net will run on linux. Yes asp classic will run on linux, apache is the server you are going to want to use infact. http://www.apache-asp.org/ downside is apache asp cannot be done in vbscript, its perl only. There might be other ways to run asp from a linux box, but this is the only way I have seen.
I don't know what distro you've pulled down but blow it off and go download the 3 ISO Mankrake distro, burn the CDs and do a full install. You'll wind up with a running system including Apache, PHP, a couple of database managers; all installed, configured and running with none of the hassles you seem to be going through.

The ISO's are just file images of CD's. Most CD burning software will burn an ISO. The ISO contains an image of the CD with the OS on it. Once you have the 3 ISO's burned onto CD, you will just install the OS from these 3 CD's.
The reason a lot of Operating Systems distribute the CD's as ISO's, is so you can download the ISO file and just burn it onto a CD, instead of ordering the CD in the mail.
To add to what MonkeyBoy (you're not really Ballmer are you? ) said. When you burn the ISO images of the CDs you will be able to boot off the first one right into the installer; just like any Windows distribution.
