Localhost is where the connection will be coming from. Since it will be coming from the copy of apache on the local machine, that should stay localhost.

I have a question.... the instructions said to start mysql and the type in:

/ 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword');/Now I understand
/yourpassword/ is what I choose. I am thinking '/root/' is also what I
wan it to be as well as '/localhost/'. But is '/localhost/' the name of
your webpage if you already have one?

        yeah... I figured that when you said 'While you at it, look
        into how to create a user, you will need to do that in order
        for the Joomla installed to attach onto the database and
        create it's initial database.' So I looked into it and I am
        off to the next section!

            You are probably at the part where it is asking to to
            supply a database user name and password.  It's not asking
            you for names of stuff which it will create, it's asking
            you to supply the username and password of an already
            existing mysql user.

                            No problem.... I'll apt-get it. Apt-get

                                         recommend off.
                                         I think I am going to leave
                it as it stands now
                            but wanted
                                         to get advise.


                                     I believe that setting is
                optional, so you should
                            be safe
                                     leaving it along as it won't
                really matter for a
                            personal site.


                                         The other issue is
                configuration.php Writeable.
                            After
                                         googling a little
                                         I figured I bette make it
                writable and so did.


                                     Yup, you have to make it writable
                so that it can
                            create and
                                     modify the config.  Later once
                you have everything
                            set like you
                                     like it, you can safely set it to
                read only and
                            that can help
                                     with security.
