WAMP -- LAMP's baby brother?

Open source on Windows -- an unholy alliance?

I use WAMP.

Find apache triad, it's pure goodness.

What advantages does this offer over IIS and ASP.NET? I've never dealt with Apache from an admin standpoint, just doing very simple web stuff as a student...

Out of curiousity, can Apache & IIS co-exist on the same machine? Is there some sort of multiplexer?

I was using virtual PC with windows webserver 2003, I couldnt get anything to connect to the virtual PC, but when it seemed to work ok.

As long as they each bind to a different address:port, they can run side by side.

I see. And I can specify a port number in the DNS entry, right? So I can run 2 sites on IIS & Apache transparently?

You can't specify a port number in DNS. One site would be:

www.minh.com

and the other would be

www.minh.com:81

You could also just use two different IP addresses.

you could also "mount" an IIS site under the main Apache site (at a specific URL path or host header name or both), using its proxy capabilities. In that sense, Apache would operate as the "multiplexer". IIS does not have that capability.
