1. Although you should be able to get it running in both environments I
would suggest that you keep both the development and production
environments as close as possible. There are lots of little differences
between the operating systems and you will spend time cleaning up bugs
that you wouldn't run into otherwise. I have been playing with Virtual
Box quite a bit recently both at work and at home and it works great as
a development environment.

2. The "result" will be the record and you can display it any way you
want in your view. If you only want to display name and text then
create your form with just those fields. Be aware that you define what
gets indexed so if your question was whether you could limit your
searches to specific fields, the answer is still yes. You just only
index the fields you want to be searchable.

4. Not sure what the question here is but yes, you should be able to
use it.

5. Apache just provides a conduit to your application server and serves
up static content. It makes no difference whether you are using Apache
or another server.
