Hi, and thanks so much for the help in getting MediaWiki running. I ended up using the Linspire Laptop since it was suggested I stick with Linux... and it went very smoothly. It took me only a few minutes to download the updates and then ran the webscripted install from the browser at the wiki´s directory... Right away things were configured, I moved the file over from the config to the parent directory and refreshed my browser... the Main_Page popped up and the cute flower logo looked great!
I have a question about the address to the page... it seems to be
http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
or
http://linspiron/wiki/index.php/Main_Page (The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1150)
somehow the ¨index.php¨ part doesn´t seem right... is this right or did I goof somehow on the setup of the software?
Again thanks for all the suggestions and the excellent support pages I found on setting up MediaWiki on Linux.
With regards, Jay B.

Good to hear that
It's the same as http://127.0.0.1/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
This is the IP address of your computer. There is nothing wrong with that.
That's the domain name of your computer. You choose the "linspiron" part during GNU/Linux installation (can be changed later).
It's your computer; there is nothing wrong with that address.

It's right.
MediaWiki uses "pretty URLs" so instead of ? it uses / to make the URL more beautiful.

Yes, the computername I chose as a personal inside joke... Linspiron (Linspire running on a Dell Inspiron)

Thanks for reassuring me of this... It seems a bit strange on the address, is there some simple way to make it something else? Wikipedia has http://XX.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Indeed again! Those query question marks are a bit distracting on the address... but my question was about the ´´index.php´´ part of the address, could this be changed into something else, easily? It is not really a problem though, it all seems to work quite well and I´m quite pleased with the setup and the configuration parts so far! It is a tribute to all the developers!
Thanks so much for your feedback and reassuring message!
With regards, Jay B.
