Check out either ikonboard or yabb - with ikonboard being the easier of the two to set up. Both are cgi based and free!

Yeah, the PHP version is much smoother and faster. The CGI version is slow and the search script sucks, bad!

Without a doubt, the easiest one to set up is the old standby, WWWBoard. However, this one has some severe issues, including the fact that occasionally clicking on one message will send you to another (on the first messageboard I ever used, we called this "teleporting.") It also hasn't been updated in a long time; the last version I saw still had Y2K issues. Cosmetic ones, to be sure, but it had them.
UBB is pretty easy to set up and use. It has severe performance and scalability issues, though, as this server unfortunately demonstrates.
I don't have much experience with phpBB, but you might want to check out their own support forums. They're a nice bunch, and should be willing to help you out.
As it stands, I'm thinking of writing my own simple board script. Nothing terribly fancy, but the threading model I want to use just isn't out there in any of the scripts I've seen (not that are available for download, anyway; AListApart has something very similar but it's not downloadable, nor is it in a language I know).

If you're not afraid to install MySQL, I'd suggest XMB. It uses PHP and MySQL, it's very fast and clean. It also has some nice features (themes being one very cool one). The PHP scripts are also very easy to hack if you don't like the original page layouts. Good luck.

I can also recommend Phorum - also very easy to config.

If you are a Zopista Zope.org you can use ZUBB. With Zope's built in security, salability and general awesomeness it brings discussions to a new level.

I'd say Ikonboard is the best out there. I've used UBB (places like this), and I had phpBB installed a while ago. Ikonboard seems to have the most features, and Ikonboard 3 is almost too easy to install.
