Now I know this is quite a tricky one, but so many different sites say different things about doing this so I'm looking for a comprehensive answer here;

I'm currently in charge of moving about 450 clients over to a new hosting platform, and unfortunately around 50 of them are using ASP.

Rather than set up a separate Windows server just to accommodate this 50 people for a short while until we expand, it would be great if I could get these running on a separate Linux machine.

Is there a good guide out there anywhere, or has anyone got any advice? I know it's not the best option, but it's only a temporary measure.

    I assume if they're clients, they're paying you? In that case I feel you owe it to them to set up a Windows server and do it properly. – Ben Pilbrow Mar 26 '11 at 12:02
  • I see what your saying, but the period will only be a couple of days (when our new Windows dedi's will be available) so I'm just looking for a very short term solution. – Lee Brooks Mar 26 '11 at 23:09
  • Move them after your windows dedicated boxes are ready, for a 'few days' I wouldn't deploy on to Linux. – ITHedgeHog Mar 28 '11 at 12:03
