Anyway, Ubuntu 9.10... In 1 word? ROCKS!!! It's faster, way faster! Looks better, has a lot more of support for your hardware, includes Ubuntu One by default and, not to forget, IT'S FREE!!!
I won't talk too much about Ubuntu 9.10 this time, I'll focus on setting up a LAMP Server with PhpMyAdmin (mysql manager) and PhpBB3 (forum).
It hasn't changed much since 8.10... The guide is almost the same...
System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager > Edit > Mark packages by Task
Just select LAMP Server and Apply, configure as needed.
You just got a LAMP (Apache + MySQL + PHP) Server running, try going to localhost now ;)
Now open your console and type this:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin phpbb3
Again, configure as needed... Type this on your console now (we're creating access for phpmyadmin and phpbb3 on your www directory)
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpbb3/www /var/www
Try your phpmyadmin and phpbb3 now :P
Now if you wanna (who wouldn't?) change something in your www directory, just run this on console:
sudo nautilus /var/www
That will let you do anything at your www directory ;). Good luck!
Note: another way is just installing the packages, apache2, php5, mysql-server, phpmyadmin, phpbb3. It works the same way :P
