By the way, chilisoft (known as ASP on linux) is now not free. It sold to Sun.

Yes, that would be good, but the cheapest I have seen (for example) W2K Pro, is AUD $300, and that's about $300 more than I have. :(
I have a P3-450 that I do testing on, using PHP, ASP, and mySQL and it's run both Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000 Server at various times. If all you're doing is serving up webpages, that doesn't suck up much in the way of resources and you should be alright. If your computer is less powerful than that, I dunno. I had XP Pro running on a P166 at one point, but it was kind of scary. :)
The computer is only a P2-350 and it's very sluggish, there is _so_ much software on it, and very little disk space. Ideally, I'd like to setup a *nix box and use that for PHP/MySQL, with say Apache,etc, but I don't think there is any way I could also use that for the ASP work.
The reason why I want a "local" web server is it saves a lot of development/testing time to get about 90% of a project done and tested locally, rather than having to (for example) modify 2 lines of code, FTP the files to the website/s, test it, change the code again, upload, etc,etc, what a real pain it is. Also, doing all this locally saves a lot on bandwidth, so that great (less $$), and if the net is down, I can still keep doing development/testing work.
So, it seems I'm 'stuck' with a Win box for the ASP stuff, but would be better off with even using my old P-100 with 64Mb ram as a *nix web server, to be used for all the PHP/MySQL development work.
Thanks,
Peter
