Ok, I have some suggestions, as someone said this is not a linux support group. Before you start working with django, you should take this one step at a time and get to know your working environment first. As a newbie to linux, you should be going over the debian manuals [1]. That link will take you through the installing debian on a i386 system. With virtualbox the instructions are basically the same with some minor vbox specific instructions (suggest reading up on vbox docs for how to mount the iso, setup the environment, and configuring networking). Once you get through this and you have a working install, do NOT jump in with django at all, just don't, you'll end up with a few headaches. Learn your environment, learn the basics of using the operating system, learn how to admin it (no need to be an expert, but you can learn how to use the operating system and manage files and create/ delete directories and permisions, understand what a root user and your user and then move to package installation and how apache works with the debian system. linux.org lessons for beginners[2] will help (and also has a debian install guide, not sure how outdated the install guide is actually). The debian admin guide[3] will help you with some of the more advanced techniques of managing packages and apache. At this point if you still have problems it'll be best to direct them to the debian lists and the debian irc channels. If you can't take time to learn your environment like this because your boss is demanding you do something django _NOW_... find a new boss or explain to him he's putting you in an unfair position (unless you bullshitted him into believing you're up to this point of understanding with linux/debian, then you're s.o.l.). Now when you get to here, you're ready to install django and have a great understanding on how to do that already with apt-get (as the suggestions given in other replies about apt-get are correct but way above where you are at right now) >From this point on if you have problems with django, come on back and we'll be glad to help with most issues (including linux specific stuff).
