[development] Does Drupal Run in 64 bit Ubuntu Linux Machine

[Chris Skene]

This question is about running Apache and MySQL on a 64 bit Ubuntu environment, which should be relatively simple. 

Can I suggest you visit perhaps the Ubuntu forums for how to install and run these applications? This list of for Drupal development problems.

You can then move the cursor down to "LAMP Server", hit the spacebar to select it, hit tab to move to the OK button, and hit enter. Ubuntu will then proceed to download and install all the packages that you will need.
