I have just ordered a VPS from my provider.

I have some Q however... My website uses Solr, which requires the following according to their website:

"Solr requires Java 1.5 and an Application server (such as Tomcat) which supports the Servlet 2.4 standard"

I also need php 5, MySql, and the usual javascript etc... The OS is Ubuntu 9.10

1- So what do I need to install then?

2- What is a servlet container?

3- The solr I have downloaded came with Jetty. Is Jetty a Servlet container?

Thanks
