Sorry it won't run on Linux.
If you are using Linux then PHP is better, ASP is better on Windows.
The type of server side language you use depends on the server you are running.

3rd Party programs to make ASP run on Linux don't fully support ASP so
Web Wiz Forums will not run on a Unix plateform and ASP as a rule only
runs well on Windows as ASP is written by Microsoft for the Windows
plateform only.

If you want to use Linux then you will have to use a PHP based forum like phpBB or invision.
If you want to use Web Wiz Forums then your only choice is to use a Windows and an IIS web server.
See the following page for the server specs required for Web Wiz Forums:-

Ok. I have seen the specifications for running Web Wiz but i cant help i need a linux based forum.
Sorry, this is not the right place to discuss this, but as i said, invision admin is VERY VERY TOUGH, and except phpBB, do you suggest something else.
Thanks you
