Manual talk:Running MediaWiki on Ubuntu

For a presentation I went through an install/config several times and touched up this page to match what I learned:
 * All references to VMware removed - unnecessary
 * Chatty reference to UK download site removed
 * Added note about how to find correct current version (and updated to reflect 1.9.3 is current)
 * Reorganized headings to make more sense

I think the whole area at the end regarding making an offline copy of MediaWiki help is unnecessary and confusing. I put it into an entirely separate heading, but I'm leaning towards deleting it.

Issue Installing MediaWiki
I have an issue using the following command to try to install Mediawiki:

sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.9.2.tar.gz?modtime=1170549682&big_mirror=0

Once I enter this command I see the following:

user@wiki:/var/ww$ Password:

_

No matter what action I take the download is terminated for some reason?

I am new to Ubuntu Server (6.06) and am running it in a Virtual Machine. Any help is much appreciated.
