You can find information on the FrontPage Server Extensions on the MSDN
site at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnservext02/fpse2002admin.asp

It would appear that Microsoft actually contracts out its UNIX based
support to a third-party. You can find all the information here:

http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/

That page contains links to the downloads and documentation for the
installation, etc. I'm afraid I can't be of much assistance beyond that,
never having been a FrontPage user myself. I wouldn't expect much in the
way of details from the contractor either, as neither Ubuntu nor Debian
appear to be supported platforms (although I know that it is possible to
use either).

As with most things Microsoft, you have to agree to their EULA, and
provide certain personal details prior to getting the download.

Good luck!
