Ok Well, my local Ubuntu expert just told me to create public_html in my home folder, and that should just work. I kept myself to the /var/www folder.
That is the way it looks on the mac, and it works great. But on OSX they just call it Sites in your home folder, so it has a more human name. Most users make homepages on Ubuntu, so it is of keen interest to help them get going easy. Hey, I just wondered. I saw this five a day thing, but I just did not get how to get started. I wonder if you could do a screen-shot, publish it on youtube, and then put it up on the "five-a-day" wiki page? Even one of my friends, who is a full time working linux programer could not get how to get started. That´s how the Ubuntu project really missed out of an great opportunity. We are so many who wants to help out, and helping out with bugs could be a great way.
