For FOP 1.0, you need Java 1.4 or newer. For FOP 1.1RC1 and the upcoming 1.1 (as well as current nightly builds), you need Java 1.5 or newer.
FOP provides a built-in mechanism to perform XML to XSL-FO translation using a supplied XSLT file. See the documentation at [1]. You don't provide enough details to determine what problem you're having on your linux server. What version of FOP? What is your input XML/XSLT files? What command line options did you use? What is console output?
