Decent webserver other than IIS

I'm looking for a decent webserver for home use. I intend to build a simple website and host it using some dynamic DNS service. I run XP Home, so I cannot install IIS 5. 1 that comes with XP Pro. . .

I'm thinking about that tiny AnalogX webserver....

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Apache is free, fairly easy to configure, but can do complicated things as needed. The only down side is that to get ASPs working, you need to fork out money.

I think that if I wasn't such an IIS addict, I would look seriously into Apache.
