[HELP] Installation and some questions for Debian.

[newbiehost]

Hello!

I have been creating websites in PHP for quite some time now and I've always used windows with wamp and decided to finally switch over to linux on my second computer to use it as a server for my websites.

I don't really understand how things work in the Linux OS interface and strangly enough, I'm having a hard time learning / finding usable information, the open-source veterans expect one to know everything already.

I am runing the latest Debian version that I just installed on my computer and I would like to have some web host control panel and I found this one searching on the web. Having downloaded it, I had no idea what to do since there's no executable~ file as in Windows etc.

Does anyone have a user friendly guide on how to install and set-up ispCP on Debian for a linux newbie? I would appreciate it alot!

PS: Also I was wondering if I will have to install something like LAMPP in order to manage my sites or does ispCP include everything neccessary? What I need is phpmyadmin, some way to manage different domains for different sites, ftp and mail. Thanks !
