I'm transitioning to ASP.NET 3.5/IIS from a PHP/LAMP background.  Configuring a site and it's required apps in IIS is completely different than doing so in a *Nix environment.  Hand me Apache or Lighttpd and I'll do whatever you want.  Put me in front of Server 2003 with IIS ... I'm lost.

I have Server 2003 installed with NO domain.  This is just for playing around inside my house for the time being, I just want to be able to go to http://machinename/mysite and get my site.  I went to Add/Remove Programs, and installed the IIS component (Application Server).  I've run every Windows Update that is available.  When I open the IIS Manager, right click the Default Web Site, go to the Properities -- I only have choices for v1.1.. or v2.0... under the ASP.NET tab.  I'm learning .NET 3.5 right now, both ASP.NET and C#.  Why isn't 3.5 available?

What do I need to do to configure ASP.NET 3.5 and IIS6.0?  Am I missing an install?  What other things to do I need to install?  I've Googled and Googled, but can't find anything!  I feel like I'm missing something obvious ...

 You won't see 3.5 for the framework in IIS 6. 3.5 is just a layer on top of 2.0 so all you have to do is select 2.0

 AS DarthSwian mentioned 3.5 is layer on top of 2.0, so you won't get anything in IIS with 3.5 version.

 If you are not able to see 2.0 also

run aspnet_regiis -i from the v2.0 folder.
