FWIW and YMMV - 

Apache supports Frontpage extensions so it may be just a matter of migrating 
the server to Linux/Apache and storing the access db on a samba fileshare.

Doh! Andrew is correct. I forgot about Microsoft's support of FrontPage 
Server Extensions for Apache on Unix:

That's a joke, but I'll answer it.  Windoze is installed but I won't use it 
due to severe GUI, system stability, system security even attitude 
shortcomings.

On the desktop, I might consider using Windoze if I can have multiple virtual 
workspaces, a truly integrated browser/file manager, and full featured 
productivity software all for the cost of a single blank CD.  A single 
workspace desktop does not hold what I'm doing.  Even if the windows UI did 
act like KDE's desktop or Enlightenment, the underlying menu system is 
confusing and incomplete.  It's just plain aggravating.  The laptop has 
office, but I'd be hard pressed to do what I have to do with that alone and 
would have to download dozens of programs to try to make up what Mepis 
includes on a single CD.  About all Office has going for it is a spreadsheet.  
I could spend the time and effort to download the Mozilla and Open Office 
suits to make up for that, but I'd still be lacking Konqueror and Kmail 
features I'm addicted to.  Even if I could get an sftp client that works 
well, I would not use it.  Using a Windoze box with secure shell is kind of 
like hiring a protitute to guard your house.  

In some alternate world, that bears no resemblance to this one, Microsoft has 
colaborated with KDE, Sun, Gnome and Knoppix.  In that world my laptop 
shipped with MSepis, much like Mepis except it's based on the NT kernel and 
networking.  I still want nothing to do with it because it's still going to 
require frequent reboots and have a 12 minute half life on any network.  Why 
would I fool around with something like that when I can have the real thing 
instead?

I'll take the few quirks Mepis has over running XP.  They may be so annoying 
that it's easier for me to cart around and use my 233 MHz laptop, but XP is 
simply unusable.
