Java Newb questions about Solaris 10.

For some reason, I have a v240 lying around. I was thinking of connecting it to a 1gbit backbone, but I have no experience with Solaris or Linux whatsoever.

Here's what I would like to do:
- Run a Apache Webserver(XAMPP)
- Run a FTP Server and set the Home directory

Here's some random questions of mine:
-Does Solaris 10 come with somekind of FTP software by default, if so, how do I enable it?
-How do I create and manage users for the FTP?
-If I would install Linux, I would Only be able to use software for SPARC's running Linux, right?

Oh, and excuse my grammar, English isn't my native tounge.

Thanks in advance, William.

Yes it does. If you are using Solaris 10, you can enable it by entering
Code:
svcadm enable ftp

Alternatively, you might want to use a third party ftp server such as WU-FTPD, NcFTP or ProFTPD

By creating user accounts using smc or useradd.

Correct. All software would have to be SPARC-compatible.
