How to install drupal?

Drupal is a robust Content Management System that runs on a LAMP server. The LAMP server uses MySQL by default, but PostgreSQL can also be used with Drupal. There are currently two stable branches of Drupal, Drupal5 and Drupal6 (Drupal7 is in development). Versions from either branch can be installed in more or less the same way. I have included a link to the documentation for the current release of Ubuntu 9.10 below.

Blogger is a blog publishing system. The service itself is located at www.blogger.com, and blogs that do not publish to their own websites are hosted by Google at subdomains of blogspot.com. Drupal is a free and open source Content Management System (CMS). It is used as a back-end system for many different types of websites.

There are numerous alternatives to the software that you listed. I have included a link showing some alternatives below.

hello.
i think probably you can found tutorial in internet how to install drupal. probably you know how to search sites in internet with search engines, but i give you a link to a search result: http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+install+drupal+ubuntu+9.10 . there are short cites from sites in which that tutorials are, and links to that sites.
you should install apache server and mysql server. then install drupal from synaptic or download from site and unpack. then you should configure apache to show drupal folder to internet. then or before downloading drupal you should install mod_php or (php-cgi and mod_fcgid) , and install phpmyadmin program that is for administering mysql server, also should configure apache if it is not already configured to show phpmyadmin to internet. when installing mysql you write password, when logging in phpmyadmin use that password, it is mysql administrator, "root"'s password. in phpmyadmin create database and user and assign to that user permission to that database, this is hard to explain simply just now, several ways of doing that in phpmyadmin.
then read some readme files in drupal directory. run drupal installer in browser and write there that mysql user name and password and database name, which i just said to create in phpmyadmin.
also install "apc" for php works faster.

dreamweaver - there are several programs. i have forgotten. search in synaptic by description and name for "web", "editor", "html".
fireworks - i do not know it just now.
photoshop - gimp
afterworks - i do not know it just now.
flash - flash player works in ubuntu 9.10

you can also install "virtual box" program and in it install windows and in it install that programs.
