Use "nano" if VI is a bit evil. "joe" is pretty good too, if your
prepared to use "wordstar" style key combo's.
 
nano is extremely newbie friendly however (Its a direct clone of pico,
imho the easiest text editor ever).

As already mentioned, with Debian at least, Apache puts the website in
/var/www

As for being scared of text editors, you just need some practice. I'm
pretty sure everyone started off being scared of CLI and using vi, but
it becomes second nature. 

I use vi for all my text editing, and this article is really helpful
i've found -

good luck!

	Hi all
	
	I apologise in advance for this question or two, but I must not
be
	googling the right search string or otherwise being dense in my
	reading of the Apache2 docs.
	
	I've got Debian (netinst webserver and printserver) on a P2 with
194Mb 
	ram.  I've installed samba and webmin so I have access to this
box
	from my other computer.
	
	Again, sorry for the densness of these questions.
	
	1.  Where does Apache2 put it's default webpage?
	
	2.  Is it possible to change that default, and have apache2
serve from 
	another directory rather than it's default?  How do I do that?
I'm
	not very confident on the CL and the text editors scare me.
	
	I have installed Midnight commander as well.
	
	If anyone could help, that would be wonderful. 
	
	Thanks in advance.
