Lamp 101

I just installed my first Linux distro (Ubuntu 6.0.6)
I'm coming from a windows world, and I'm having trouble installing downloaded software. I'm trying to get Apache installed. The book I bought is for SUSE, and says to use YaST, but Ubuntu doesn't have YaST. Any help getting Apache, PHP, and MySQL set up would be awesome.
Thanks,

All my linux experience has been with clark connect (http://www.clarkconnect.com/). With clarkconnect you do this:

At the command prompts type the following

Apt-get update php
Apt-get update mysql
Apt-get update php-mysql
Apt-get install mysql-server
Service mysqld start
Mysql –u root password desired_password

* I am not sure if you need php-mysql or mysql if you are installing mysql-server, however this is what I did to make it work. If you don’t have php, mysql or php-mysql installed you can install them by typing:

Apt-get install php
Apt-get install mysql
Apt-get install php-mysql

Hope that helps you a little.
