But how do I access it from other computers? I can enter with http://localhost, and with http://127.0.0.1, but I can't by putting my public IP. (My IP is 201.235.222.57). Can you try entering (by pasting my IP into the address bar) or giving some advice of how can I publish my site by IP address? (because I'm just too lazy to get a DNS address).

Does your ISP allow you to run a server on your plan?

Yes, it does.
But anyway, I have a router connecting to the internet. May that be a problem?

You would have to set it to forward the ports.

The simplest method is to enable port forwarding on your router (point port 80 at the private IP of the LAMP system). Then you need a dynamic dns name. No-ip and dyndns offer free dynamic addresses. Google them.
Just make sure you have everything locked down before going public.

No, I already have a Thinkpad (which I consider to be a sentient entity and deserving of all my earthly love)
