NewB to Drupal /MySql/Apache/PHP Opinion

I have been looking at CMS's for about a month now, and after reading an artical in a local computer paper I decided to go down the drupal challenge....

I have debian 3.0r1 running and have made the required updates.
I used the apt-get install drupal methode and it began installing 4.1.

I'm wondering if it is a wise idea to continue using the apt-get setup methode as a first time user of drupal, and to some extent mysql/debian/php.

I'm also wondering if there are any other debian users in this forum?????

The debian box is also behind a firewall using e-smith.
I also have a static IP address....

As I said the install works fine it is the screen that asks a bunch of questions about mysql that troubles me...
