on the ubuntu site I followed the following instructions:
To install the default LAMP stack in Ubuntu 10.04 and above
First install tasksel...
$ sudo apt-get install tasksel
... and then the LAMP stack:
$ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
It looked like it installed. I don't know what to do now. On Windows you just find the xampp folder and put stuff you want to test in htdocs folder and there's a control panel for starting and stopping services. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but I don't see a xampp folder let alond a htdocs folder and I have no idea how to start and stop Apachee, PHP or MySQL. Hopefully someone here has been through this and knows what I need to do next.
