What about PHP (http://www.php.net/) and MySQL? If you go to
http://www.mysql.com/ there (I believe) are instructions on how to move a DB
from Access to mySQL (basically I believe it is a dump from ODBC). As far as
ASP for Linux, ChiliSoft (http://www.chilisoft.com/platforms/linux.asp) has a
port of ASP to Linux but it will cost you about $1300. There is a program that
will convert your ASP to PHP called asp2PHP
(http://home.i1.net/~naken/asp2php/).
PHP is much more integrated with mySQL than ASP is and is for me more powerful
and easier to work with. A PHP/mySQL/Apache on Linux/Unix will will almost
never need to be rebooted.
