U can try the phpBB .It is available at *sourceforge.net/projects/phpbb/. You should have apache, php and mysql support.

I don't know if blogspot allows you to run custom php scripts on their servers. And i am damn sure that they won't allow you to access their MySQL database.

@bukadia: Apache isn't necessary for phpBB. You just need a webserver.

@Rohan : Yeah any web server will do. I have named apache as it is the most popular and installs easily with linux. Remember the LAMP Technology?

Or just sign up for a hosting service. Setup a wordpress blog there and import your current posts there.
