I apologize if this has been discussed before on the net.  I read
this group regularly, but I might have missed it as I didn't thought
anything about it.

I heard from my friend that one can use a Sun workstation as a Mac
server.  My questions are:

1) How to get the Mac to recognize that there is a server on the net?
2) Would there be some specific software that I would need?
3) How can one put files to the Sun(sorry about my lack of knowledge
   in this area) and retrieve in a user's point of view?  Will it
   be kind of like AppleShare?
4) Would there be any "external software" that you can also put on the Sun
   just like running a mail server or print spooler with AppleShare?

Any help will be greately appreciated!
