I'd love to use the rpm.  Will the FP 2000 extensions work with FrontPage XP?  I'm not sure about an security issues, although I had heard some rumour about it.  I'm setting this server up for my dad and he is absolutely dependent on FrontPage (which drives me crazy), but at least he's willing to try out Linux for his server rather than Windows.  I'll work on breaking his dependence on FrontPage at a later time.

I used an RPM for my install of FPSE. Does your distro support RPMs? If so, I'll 
find mine and point you to it. I chose the extensions for FP 2000. 

Do you know that there are inherit security issues with running FPSE? you can FTP 
the sites up if you don't need forms and the fancy stuff. I use SFTP for my non-
FPSE stuff.
