Best practice for hosting multiple Drupal websites?

We intend to host several public facing sites on Linux (Ubuntu Server). Our database sit's on it's own box.

I've already setup the first Drupal website, for example http://xxx/drupal/

Going forward, how do I use Apache2 to stand up the other sites? Do I need to use virtual sites like in Windows?

Managing several websites on the same environment is new to me. So I need some help with  best practices.

As a note, refer the following url for detailed system requirements for control panels. cPanel control panel will not support Ubuntu boxes. You can go for Plesk if required.

The current version is 1.9 - be sure to read the documentation for that instead of 0.4, for example. Different worlds.
