Newbie questions for Litecoin

[Radacoin]

I am pretty familiar with BTC, but new to Litecoin.

Question: Do I setup Litecoin the same way as Bitcoin? E.g. bitcoin.conf -> litecoin.conf ?

Is there a litecoind like there's a bitcoind? If so, is litecoind just a modified version of bitcoind?

Is the protocol to sync/distribute blocks for Litecoin the same as for Bitcoin?

1- Yup, the same way

2- Yup, there's a daemon like bitcoin

3- Yup, the port and the amount of blocks generated are different only, AFAIK

how do i set up the wallet to solo mine?

Solo mining today on LTC isn't a smart idea...
Try another small cryto-currency like BQC if you want make that only for experience(ppl will help you out of how you make the server/daemon run and how to configure your miner, BQC is Scrypt based as well), for getting real money try pooled mining like coinotron, poll-x, etc.

What's the advantage of BQC over LTC? Are there any markets and charts for BQC network?

The advantage is, that there are no exchanges to date 

If you want to solo mine something you can sell, than you should look at TRC
