Yes.  It installs, running, out of the box.

Yes, there is a module so Apache supports the Front Page publishing protocol.
Called web_dav or some such thing.  Don't know much about it personally, Front
Page generates really lousy code.

Never even heard of it.  What does it do?

>4. What would be the best software to manage Samba, Apache, and email?

Linuxconf (installs out of the box) or some people prefer webmin.

Phone time is very hard to come by,  you can e-mail me privately if you like
(awilliam@whitemice.org), but this seems like an on-topic discussion for the
list.  Since the list is archived all such conversations assist future users.
