Server Basic/Advanced - How It Works

[SakuraSan]

I hope the list of following questions and suggestions becomes short tutorial, how to run multiplayer server on Linux.
Dear ShiVa Team, we need your mentorship!
Please also mention if answer is applied to Basic or Advanced versions.

1. Server Can Run on Linux Virtual Private Server .
2. Server must be installed in particular directory, with permissions, configured.
3. Does Server needs .stk or compiled application for linux?
4. If server crashes can it be restarted by Cron?
5. Server can run simultaneously only one application?? Application is defined by it's ID.
6. Application running on the server must be identical to client's version. Or it can be different version of app/stk with the same ID? This is very important, as it is not necessary for server App to handle actual graphic.
7. The main technique for interacting with server is XML. Can Server manipulate MySQL somehow or interact with PHP?
8. If there any way to create/add/delete runtime scripts in LUA or any other forms, which will be executed with Application.
9. Can two remote Servers Sync Data between them?
10. I would also ask differences between Basic/Advanced, but as it is not described on Buy page, then probably it is a secret and only after buying one shall know.
11. Is there some tutorials coming with Basic/Advanced?

Thanks a Lot!

Me too because I have to buy server soon.
It would be nice to know if I can start on the smaller version before upgrading
