Well, yes and no. Everything is free that's under GPL but you have a legacy codebase which is written in a proprietary language. So you can't expect anything that handles that to be free (the fact that there *are* some GPL solutions is amazing!). Unfortunately, you find yourself in the trap set by commercial software vendors - by choosing (or inheriting) their proprietary code you've become locked in to using their products to interpret it. The only way to break out is to do what Mark McCulligh did and port the code to some open-source alternative (PHP, perl-ASP, perl-CGI, JSP etc.) > I guess I will have to stick to IIS or as Owen Boyle suggested forward > requests from apache to IIS. It depends on what your motivation is for migrating. If it's because you want want to take advantage of apache's stabilty and robustness, then using apache as a frontend and proxying any ASP requests to an internal IIS server probably a good solution. The IIS server will be behind the apache server and so will never see the direct requests from the internet and so will be insulated from all those IIS exploits. It also won't have to spend time delivering GIFs and static content and will be able to concentrate just on the ASPs.
