Drupal on Debian & Ubuntu

Installing Drupal on Debian and Ubuntu is as easy as doing

$ sudo apt-get install drupal5

5? yes. For many cases, I think we should be away from the latest thing as Debian users may opt.
Then? do

$ less /usr/share/doc/drupal5/README.Debian.gz

There mentioned we do

$ dpkg-reconfigure drupal5

and open a web browser, then a bit away from the manual, point to http://localhost/drupal5/install.php. Rest you can create first account that is an admin and fill in the email address such as admin@localhost. On next step, you'll be prompted a password and new password of your will.

Those steps should apply for wordpress and many other CMS under Debian & Ubuntu.

Have fun!
