.Net rocks!

I'm playing with the VB.Net-based DotNetNuke portal. Although it�s very new, the superiority of the .Net platform is allowing it to rapidly catch up with mature LAMP-based portals. It really gives a whole new meaning to RAD development. (Btw, did you know that you can run .Net on Linux/Apache using Mono and the ModMono Apache module?) I�ve already set up a blog, and I�d like to move my homepage to .NetNuke, if only I could find a .Net host. Anyone interested in getting a free Unix account in exchange for some space on a .Net-enabled host? I'd host it on my pc if Cox hadn't blocked port 80...I'll be damned if they make me upgrade to a commercial account just to run a web server. Speaking of which, the value/quality of the service Cox offers is ridiculous, but they have a local monopoly on cable Internet service, and I�ve disabled my landline, so I can�t get DSL. Incidentaly, I just found I get free web hosting at http://cox-internet.com/david, but Cox offers no scripting support, making my account rather useless.
Anyway, you should seriously consider using .Net for your web/GUI/Unix development needs. I�m going to do just that�right after I cash my check from the MS marketing dept.

Hey you can talk to Mike Amundsen at Eraserver about hosting. May have some good deals and he is well versed in .NET. INETA will be having some info about free .NET hosting coming out soon.
We may cover some of it on upcoming shows of .NET Rocks! at www.franklins.net
