Hi,

I'm an avid Drupal user and I could exlain this all to you, but why don't
you just ask your question on the Drupal mailing list? Maybe I am the only
Drupal user on ubtuntu-users, but on http://drupal.org/mailing-lists you
can find a mailing list with *thousands* of people who are able to help
you.
Also check out the Drupal forum at http://drupal.org/forum

I wish you a lot of fun and interesting times with Drupal! :)

HTH, HAND.
