I have never really thought about this, does it come with .net framework? If so , basically I would just need to install .net framework 2.0 and I'd instantly be able to run asp.net pages ? Also can Asp.net handle classic ASP pages ? if not , will installing asp.net on the same machine that is handling the classic asp pages over ride their ASP server with ASP.net ?
You can install framework separately because it is included in the Visual Studio. Yes .net framework can handle all type of ASP pages.
