They're basically the same, with one exception.  The 'require' function will barf if the targeted file isn't present, while 'include' will be a little more forgiving.  Just experiment a little and I'm sure you'll get it.

Also, keep in mind that you can use relative paths for both functions (eg. "../index.php" or "./scripts/foobar.php").

It should... Apache 2.0.54 is your server, and I think by default SSI is enabled.  I haven't tested it.  If you wish to use it, try it out and let me know if it works.  If it doesn't, I'll dig deeper and fix it.

Yes, you have PHP 5.0.4 installed.  Any extra PHP modules you need can be easily installed.
