ASP or PHP, Windows or Linux

[sebbyt16]

I've got a question for y'all out there:

I need to decide if I want to get a Linux server or a Windows server for my new website, which includes either PHP or ASP respectively. My question is this: which one should I go for?

Basically I need to figure out what the pros and cons of each are, the learning curve of PHP and ASP and what they can do for me, etc, etc. Any help at all would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Sebby
