But if you install CentOS 2 or 3, "a 100% compatible rebuild of the RHEL
2 and 3 versions" (http://www.centos.org/), you're back to paying zero
for your OS. :P

ASP is not free, in runs on a proprietary web server which requires Windows
Y2K or higher. That is not a free sceneario in my mind.

Subject: RE: CF VS .Net?
I've started doing some C# programming and agree that it's a waste of
time to do C# without visual studio. The good thing that I've seen
about C# and .net is that everything is an object. The intelli-sense in
Visual Studio is awesome. I would love to see Macromedia/Adobe add that
functionality to DreamWeaver. It would be cool as you code to know what
methods and properties are available from your CFC.
ColdFusion is hands down easier to develop with IMO. But that could be
a factor of what you are used to. 8 or 9 years of CF development versus
2 weeks of C#. Hmmmmm.
The knock on CF is that it's not free like ASP or PHP. Not sure of what
VisualStudio costs, but that has to be included in the comparison.

I've done two smallish projects in C#, and if you don't use Visual
Studio the amount of code you have to write is HEINOUS. If you plan
to do any amount of .NET development whatsoever, add Visual Studio
licenses to the total cost because writing all that code by hand is a
nightmare. To me that's not a strength of the Visual Studio tool,
it's a weakness of the language. ;-) I just don't understand why
everything other than CF (and some J2EE servers of course) doesn't
manage your datasources so you can have simple query statements like
we have in CF, and that's just one example. All that extra code adds
up quickly.

I've looked into .NET and to me it's like programming cobol. 30* lines
of code to do a "HELLO WORLD" But I'm sure you can do some really cool
stuff with it.
* not really but sure seems like 30.
