Yeast starter.

Can you make a starter out of dextrose and no dme? I thought I read somewhere the yeast won't like the change in sugars, but I was just wondering.

I've heard the same thing, that they get used to a certain type of sugar, and switching it up will cause problems for them and your beer. Plus, dextrose will give you a bad flavor. I've used DME exclusively, and it serves me well.
