ASP means Active Server Pages, a server-side scripting technology that
executes on software which is part of MS Internet Information Server.
It's part of MICROS~1's "embrace & extend" strategy to damage & weaken
the cross-platform nature of the WWW.

ASP is *only* intended to work on IIS. And no, you can't run IIS on Linux.

There are various options out there for getting some ASP support on
Unix and FOSS OSs. Apache has a module for it but you'll have to
rewrite the server-side scripts in Perl. There are also some
Java-based options.

Basically, it's not completely impossible, but it's not trivial. If
you have to ask, you're probably not up to doing it. Certainly I'd
have no clue where to start myself!
