Hi, 


 Havent tried installing drupal using ubuntu, but why not give drush a try? Drush comes with lots of cool package manager kind of commands which makes your life as a drupal dev/admin easier. Check out drush at http://drupal.org/project/drush  
 
But would like to know if there are benefits of apt-get way of installing or maintaining drupal installations, though I think drush is much more advance and convenient when it comes to drupal way of doing things.

Cheers

Hi:

I installed Drupal with the Ubuntu command:

    apt-get install drupal6

In reviewing Drupal documentation about setting up files, modules, and so
forth, many things don't seem to be the same in the Ubuntu installation.
For example, the files are not as suggested in /usr/share/drupal6/sites.
Does anybody know of a good source of documentation on what the Ubuntu
installation does, where it puts things, and what we need to do as
administrators and designers in getting started?

Many thanks.

Chris
