10 Goals:

1. Chose a CMS (Content Management System) I decided on Joomla. Mainly because I Wordpress and ModX didn't fit my needs for a simple website meant for my TaeKwonDo studio.

2. Install Xampp (to create a localhost) I installed Xampp for linux by downloading it from here[1] and moving it to the suitable directory. once this was complete I had, essentially a mini webserver known as localhost where my site can reside until it is complete.

3. Install Joomla This was a bit of a challenge, After much trial and error and finally google, I found where to move the file with joomla in it. For me running Ubuntu 10.10 the directory was /opt/lampp/htdocs. All that was left was to start Xampp with the terminal command sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start and navigate to "http://localhost/JOOMLAFILENAME" and run through the install.
