And no, AFAICT DNN requires MSSQL for its internal control structures. John W.

I mean even a small company should be able to afford owning ASP.NET enabled Web site if they do not want to have their information hosted by someone else.... Of course MS SQL Server 2000 or 2005 are costly "beasts". And anyway they I guess will not run on MS Windows 2003 Web edition. I did try to find but this is not clear directly from DNN docs or I did miss this info on quick look through - is DNN able to use any other backends than MS SQL Server?
