What Ubuntu tools make learning Ubuntu easier?

What Ubuntu tools (or tips) make learning Ubuntu easier?

I have used LINUX here and there over the years, but always feel like it's the first time. Most of my software development jobs were Windows and Web, with Windows Server.

So, I just successfully SSH'ed to my AWS Ubuntu instance. AND need to get up and running quickly.

What tools can you suggest?

Is there a GUI I should consider?

Was the X-Windows??

And what other tools are there besides a GUI?

I expect to host a WordPress Podcast. So, any helpful tools or tips would help greatly.

Thanks

WordPress/PowerPress and a Podcast.

Thanks for asking.

I need to install Apache, MySQL and PHP, then Wordpress.

Have any advice on where I get these and install them?

I mostly learn my doing. I like having an end goal of creating deliverable and learn best by overcoming obstacles.

You asked, "I just successfully SSH'ed to my AWS Ubuntu instance. AND need to get up and running quickly."

The only real requirement is ssh.

You can run X-Windows or you can just open multiple Mac Terminal windows, then ssh into any machine from your Mac.
