you should install apache,php and mysql packages. Every version of joomla works. just check wich versions of mysql and php you will need. you should be familiar with this www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html . good luck!

There is a choice of web servers available for Linux: Apache is only the most well known one; for example nginx, provided by a Russian developer as open source..
http://wiki.nginx.org/Main

Nginx is one of a handful of servers written to address the C10K problem. Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't rely on threads to handle requests. Instead it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture. This architecture uses small, but more importantly, predictable amounts of memory under load.
Even if you don't expect to handle thousands of simultaneous requests, you can still benefit from Nginx's high-performance and small memory footprint. Nginx scales in all directions: from the smallest VPS all the way up to clusters of servers.

Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as WordPress, Hulu, Github, Ohloh, SourceForge, WhitePages and TorrentReactor.
