    I think aspx does the interaction with the .mdf database, so the only question is if .aspx files can run on linux servers. I think the answer is no, so you'll need to find a Windows web host. But I could be wrong on both counts, I mainly use PHP/MySQL.

    You can try http://www.mono-project.com/ASP.NET but I haven't really seen it in action in any of the big sites yet. ASPX still run best in the Windows environment. If you are using Linux I would say PHP would be better than trying to run ASPX in the Linux environment.
