Yes you can run Java servlets on Linux. You can download the Java
Servlet Develppment Kit (JSDK) 2.0 for free from Sun at:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-server/servlets/index.html#sdk
The kit contains the 100% Java classes libraries you need to write
your servlets. The servlets can, in turn, be run from virtually any
web server such as Apache or Sun's Java Web Server (JWS) - also
downloadable from Sun, but not free. Instructions for getting JWS
running on Linux can be found on this page:
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/products.html
For help with getting servlets going with Apache, check out:
http://java.apache.org
There are several options here including the mod_jserv module from the
Apache group or the JRun product you mentioned above.
I have had success in getting Java servlets to run on Red Hat 5.0
using both JWS and Apache 1.3.1+mod_jserv.
Hope this helps to get you started.
