[Cialug] Installing eGroupWare

I'm trying to set up eGroupWare on my computer. This is my first big
project since switching from Gentoo to Ubuntu, so I thought this would
be an interesting test of the Ubuntu community's documentation and the
ease of use of apt-get.
I found a document here:
http://www.debianadmin.com/egroupware-installation-and-configuration-with-screenshots.html
but it's dealing with Debian, and not actually Ubuntu. That shouldn't
matter. And then I "sudo apt-get install egroupware". It asked me
for a few bits of configuration information, like which webserver am I
using. Which webserver? I don't know, didn't apt-get just install
one for me? No? So, question in the back of my mind: Would Gentoo
have noticed that I don't have a webserver already installed and then
install it for me? I would've expected it to. I always had the
"apache2" USE flag set.
But honestly, I'm not so much interested in the comparison as I am in
getting eGroupWare to work. So I go to the document above. I had
loaded it but not read it. Per that document I installed
mysql-client, mysql-server, and postfix. Can you tell I don't know
what I'm doing?
Still working on it...
