Do we need Framework to run ASP.NET page

[Tim]

Hi Gurus,
I am wondering if we need to install DotNet framework on all the machines to
run pages developed in ASP.NET.

Can we also run the pages on Linux/Unix?

Thanks, Tim

Hello tim,

Yes you do

Can we also run the pages on Linux/Unix?

DotNet on linux is unsupported by Microsoft (I think) but there is a project
called Mono which exists to support a linux version of the .Net frameowrk.
I do not know if they have ASP.Net in it though.

If you mean client browser machines, they don't need to have the framework.
ASP.NET ends up with producing standard html that can be consumed by any
browser on any platform.

You can view pages developed in ASP.NET in any browser.

You'll need mod_mono, an Apache module. More info/download link here :

You need the .NET framework on the IIS server only.
Client PCs (browsers) do NOT need it and so linux/any O.S. users can see you
pages.
