0. This list discourages private replies; in general, you're encouraged
to reply to the list:
* it provides more eyes for solving your problems
* it provides answers/opportunities for others on the list to learn
the answer
* it documents the answers in the mailing list archives
(Also, you're encouraged to reply only to the list, not to the list and
the person to whom you're replying; that person is already reading the
list; s/he doesn't need two copies of the message.)
1. "aptitude install swat", then configure as you seem to be familiar with.
2. This list discourages top-posting (replying at the top of a message
rather than interspersing with relevant material).
3. This list encourages trimming out unnecessary stuff from previous
messages.
4. A good subject line ("How to install/configure SWAT?" or "Need help
with Samba", etc) is more likely to get responses; a generic subject
line, or worse, one that is misleading, is likely to get ignored by
those who know the answers to your issues.
5. LAMP: you have the Linux part; now "aptitude install apache mysql
[python | perl | php]" should get you pretty close.
Note: None of these should be taken as criticisms (although in the terse
format I've written them they may sound that way); instead, they should
be taken as educational as to how this list generally functions.
