Any questions just ask. Thanks.
Why not download a starter kit from asp.net? Full source for a community portal including probably everything you could want. Choices for other types of portals kits to find the one you like.
Go to http://www.asp.net and click on "Starter Kits" on the tabs.
I want to design it on my own, not use their templates. Plus I want to keep learning to make my own. I was going to in PHP, but is that the best way to go?
asp.net is the most powerful thing out there ATM. The only disadvantage is that it has to run on a win server unless you use mono which only supports c#. Php is okay, but it is not as powerful as asp.net (is not compiled at runtime, lacks lang flexibility, so on and so fourth), but it will go cross platform much better than .net.
Well I just started PHP, do you suggest that I stop learning? Is ASP.Net more difficult?
Generally you have to pay more for ASP whenever I have looked at it.

Except for 2005; however, unfortunately, 2005 isn't licensed to "go live" yet.

WebMatrix is an open-source, free, community-supported ASP.NET development tool.
Download it here (http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/default.aspx?tabIndex=4&tabId=46).
You can prog with .net in any editor. It is completely free to use. The only thing that must be bought is the server os in theory. You can use mono on linux unix or mac but that is c# only. Also asp.net is easier to learn than php, I do not know php, but I can say this because asp.net has unmatched lang flexibility. If you have any progamming experience your learning curve is cut down a ton because .net can gve you the syntax you are used to.
Quasi, do you have any experience with c#/mono on linux?

I installed mono but I really was too lazy to play with it. But from what I hear (posted above) is that it is slow. Also other langs are not going to be coming to mono for a bit. Mono is always going to be one (or 3) step behind ms when the impliment things.
