Ubuntu users in Ontario, Canada?

[geo]

I don't have phpmysqladmin - and I have no idea where to get it. It's not available in Synpatic or in the Alt-F2 terminal. It's like a ghost or something, you hear about it but you can't see it?

And if by some miracle i stumbled across it, how would I run it in Firefox? It's not in a bookmark or anything.


On your machine you have really two levels of programs working when serving 
for the web. Programs that you will run on your machine for your use on the 
machine you install via Synaptic. Applications that will run on the webserver 
you download from the net and install as per their installation instructions. 

MySQL you install via Synaptic since it will run directly on your machine. 
phpmysqladmin will administer the MySQL database (adding databases, tables 
etc) through the webserver. It will run through your Firefox.

Once MySQL and phpmysqladmin have been installed on your machine you simply 
log into phpmysqladmin and click on the Create Blank Database button.
