Start the synaptic package manager, you can install apache from there if it is not on your system (I thought it was default install, though). Just check the small box, and press "apply changes".

Yeah, found it, thanks....

There is alot to go through....

Remember this: "LAMP"! If you want to make a feature packed site, you will want a LAMP setup... In case you don't really know what LAMP means, it means: "Linux Apache MySQL PHP"! And another note: On some package listings, it is httpd instead of apache! I also recommend PHP4 along with PHP5!

I just need to make sure you saw this BeerSlinger. This is the reason Ubuntu is so good. The community is AWSOME. This tutorial is great, plus it shows you how to do the Apache install.

Forgive my silence.....some have interpreted this as inaction, confusion or bewilderment but I’m really doing my homework at this point….at least for some that have seen me on linuxquestions.org…or on this or other sites because I always use the same user-name on a number of sites.

At this point, I’m running through some distributions that Takeshi has suggested...at this point I’m playing particular attention to Ubuntu and Debian with the focus of C::B and LAMP….I new all of those packages, but I didn’t know that there was an acronym for them…and that was new to me…but it was directly addressing everything I needed in the short term….C::B is only for my personal satisfaction…

To close this out, which I have never done before, I want to thank you all for your help…I’m sure that I will find a Linux format that I’m comfortable with; mostly because I’m determined to switch operating systems….

And thanx once again Takeshi

takeshimiya:
RJP is right, the best thing about Ubuntu is not the distro per se, but about the synergy between the community and the distro.
And better even is that everything is contributed back to Debian, so it's a synergy between distros and between communities. :)

Just remember to always search at the Ubuntu wiki and forums whenever you have questions. :wink:
