In the end it think comes down to use what you know best.. Php vs ASp vs JSp vs .Net
consider your budget, clients needs, bosses needs, future needs etc. I came to Php as .Net came in. I really like Php, i also really like ASP. I learnt ASP first because my job required it, we had a IIS server already. There all just tools to me, used to implement the best solutions for myself or my clients in minimal time for minimal cost. You mind find convincing your boss with $$$ easier. Then again i know what you mean about Bandwagon Bosses and there fellow MBM (management by magazine)types.

I might be able to put it to work for me. BTW, if you want, you can add my site as a LAMP site (of course, as small as it is compared to the sites you have listed, you may not want too :) http://www.by-tor.com Evan Nemerson wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Okay, it took me a long (expletive deleted) time, so I figured I should share. > Here is a list of popular web sites running Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Linux.
