Do you find a lot of customers asking for or using FrontPage extensiosns on Linux? I'm about a week away from launch and I'm trying to decide if it would be worthwile to offer FP as an option.

Approximately 30% of our Linux customers use FP extensions.

In my experience FP is very popular on smaller sites. Larger site tend to call for something more robust.

Somewhere around 25% of our users require FrontPage extensions. All of those persons are running small, family or hobby type sites.

One kid and a sports car and I snowboard. Wow, I was expecting something like 10%-15%. Not a high percentage, but I think I'll offer it anyway.

Also with my shell accounts I offer the Usual Suspects - Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby. But not gcc. I have my users in a chroot environment, and I would have to install gcc into that to make it work. That would eat a lot of disk space let alone all the security issues around installing a c/c++ compiler.

hardlink the library and other files that do not change (except some configs etc) - you will save a lot of space

I've been heading down this route with hardlinks, I almost have everything working. I'm down to the compiler not finding certain include files.
