Not to add to the hijack, but I hear ya brother. I've been trying to get a local HTTPd/bugzilla set up for the last two weeks. I tried using the Ubuntu/Debian packages and not only do they splay files (seemingly) wherever they feel like it, they change the names so that the online product doc is almost worthless. I love ubuntu and have great respect for the work the volunteers do, but I don't think this is their best effort.
