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.

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.
