Hello.

Well, LAMP is actually an alternative to WAMP for Ubuntu or Linux. May be you have not found how to setup LAMP properly on ubuntu.
Check out the following web to know how to install and use LAMP:

You can also also check out Free PHP IDEs for Ubuntu (Linux) at:

Let me know if you still have any questions.

Thanx.

A quick addition to the info from webtechquery....

you will need to have the correct details set within your apache server. and ensure that your <data dir> directives etc are correct. They should be 'similar' as when you had it in windows, however I've never set up apache on windows so can't comment on the configuration.

I did follow the instructions that were given there, but how do I edit the pages/where are they stored? I have used WAMP, but am trying to transition to Linux. Some assistance (in very simple terms) would be greatly appreciated.
