I'll check out drush. No harm in learning something new.
In Ubuntu, the apt-get utility is extremely handy for installing things because updates/upgrades are handled virtually automatically. It is specific to Ubuntu/Debian flavors of Linux.

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.

Hi:
I installed Drupal with the Ubuntu command:
apt-get install drupal6In 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.
