[support] does having a different front page require front page module?

A small addition to Eric's post: no, frontpage.module isn't required.
If you go to admin/settings/site-information and scroll to the bottom 
you'll see "Default front page". Enter the url of the node (page) you 
would like to have as frontpage and enable/disable the blocks you 
like/dislike the way Eric described.
Now you've got you special front page.

hth,
