.asp is active server pages, .aspx is .net active server pages. These are nearly always written in vb.script or C# You might want to have a look at mono, and instant asp http://www.go-mono.com http://www.halcyonsoft.com/ I've not used either. We run a hardend NT box just for this stuff, but I've heard good things about these products.
