Use the Synaptic Package Manager from the System->Administration menu to find and install the following packages :
- mysql-server-5.0
- apache2
- php5
- libapache2-mod-php5
- phpmyadmin
- libgd2-xpm 2.0.35.dsfg-3ubuntu2

Open a terminal and execute
sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Change memory_limit to 128M, then restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Downloaded Drupal and extract it to /var/www/ with
sudo tar xvfz drupal-5.12.tar.gz -C /var/www/drupal-5.12
Restart Apache by typing sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and the new Drupal site is ready for the database details.
