I would like to know if anyone has sample programs I can run on a linux sys utilizing NON MICROSOFT PRODUCTS (IE., Explorer, Frontpage, Word, Notepad). What I would like to do is be able to run sort of a website using linux completely without Microsoft.
Thank you.

You can do better than "run sort of a website". Install Apache and you have a full-blown web-server. (www.apache.org)

I believe it even comes with some sample "sites".

Snag virtually any Linux distro: Slackware, RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, Debian, etc.

Snag the latest copy of Apache (I like to do this via www.apachetoolbox.com). Simply find the line with ExecCGI in httpd.conf and read the comments!

If you want some really wild stuff, include PHP support.
