These have been around for quite some time. I have had to install both the Frontpage 2000 and the new Frontpage XP (I think that is ext 5.0) on a linux box running apache. The interesting thing to note is that Ready to Run ported these as well. Seems like Microsoft likes them for their porting for crappy software. The FP extentions really suck to install, they required you to give apache greater privledges then it deserves over certain directories...but what do we know...I am sure Microsoft has a good reason for make FP seem like a huge security hole!
