    Want to rebuild my site in Exp. I'm on a Unix Server, w/FrtPg Exts. Should I 
start with a: Master Page, or a: DWT?

    Masterpages are an ASP.Net 2.0 feature, so for a Unix server you almost certainly limited to DWT's. There is an implementation of ASP.Net for Linux called Mono, but it's not widely supported as yet.

    You may though find the power of ASP.Net tempting so don't rule out a switch to a Windows server.

    DWT, master pages are for ASP.NET 2.0 pages and the ASP.NET support
    available for Linux does is the older framework.

    Are you using mono?

    If not, DWT, which is a design time "templating" technology, is your only
    option. I also believe Mono is still a bit behind, so master pages are
    probably not available on your box regardless, at least not now.

    What's 'mono'? I'm on a Unix server, but want to build a site from the ground
    up in Expression.

    Mono is the dotnet framework for Linux computers. Usually it is at least one
    generation behind the Microsoft dotnet framework. In order to use asp.net
    master pages your web server must support asp.net 2.0 framework.

    Mono, the Linux version does not yet do that which means you should use
    DWTs which are used on your local site and require nothing on the server.

    While the tutorial was written for FrontPage see:
    http://mvp.wiserways.com/tutorials/dwt/index.html Since the process is
    basically the same in EWD.

    Bet bet would be to just transfer to a: Windows Server w/FrtPg Exts?

    You don't need the FPSE for Expression Web Designer. Heck, there was little 
you needed them for in FrontPage 2003.

    As Cheryl says, you should not need to move to a windows/fpse box. Our
    support for Ftp is strong and you should have a finne experience on your
    current box.

    Mono is "supposed" to be at 2.0 standard by August. As it is open source,
    this is not a guarantee, but they have done nicely in the past.

    That would be good news indeed if they succeed.
