It's better if you have IIS on your developement machine but I believe you can run asp.net 2.0 without it - NOT asp.net 1.1. Have a look at the system requirements for the software i.e. VS2005 or visual web express.
There are some web servers such as Cassini which allow you to run ASP.NET 1.1. However, it isn't worth the hassle and I would strongly recommend Windows XP Professional, or better, Windows 2003.
