It strikes me that if you are expecting it to later run on Linux, that you
will need to have some Linux understanding to fix the inevitable.  That
said, an install of RedHat or Mandrake is so easy these days that you might
as well make one of those win32 computers into a dual booter.  Not only will
you fix your bugs earlier, but you will not need to limit yourself in weird
artificial ways (i.e. somethign cross platform).

Oh, and to the original question, I am coming form a asp/vbscript background
as well, and I have been using apache/mod_python on FreeBSD and it is
working really well thus far.  The only drawback was settig up in this
environment as it required editing makefiles for apache and mod_python.
This qualifies it as slightly more than trivial to install.
