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!

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.

Install the package mysql-server and also make sure you have the

No problem.... I'll apt-get it. Apt-get install mysql<tab
tab> gives a
lot of download candidates though. Which should I install?
I'm thinking
mysql-server but there is also ...server-5.5 and
...server-core-5.5.
Here are the candidates:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql
mysql-client mysql-mmm-tools mysql-testsuite
mysql-client-5.5 mysql-proxy
mysql-testsuite-5.5
mysql-client-core-5.5 mysql-server mysqltuner
mysql-common mysql-server-5.5 mysql-utilities
mysql-mmm-agent mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-workbench
mysql-mmm-common mysql-source-5.5
mysql-workbench-data
mysql-mmm-monitor mysqltcl

I'm at pre instalation checklist now. One of
the issues I
have with this
section is that my outpu buffering is set to on
and they
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.
