quick answer:
throw it into the /www/var/ (did you mean /var/www ?) directory.
How to set up your server – that’s beyond the scope of the WP forum. I assume there are places on the net that might be able to guide you to accomplish this task.

I did put it in the /var/www/ folder. It seems to be working as long as I access it from the localhost linux box, but when I access it from another machine by typing in the http:<IP address>/wordpress/wp-login.php, it allows me to login, but everything on the pages look messed up, as in there is no formatting, etc. It’s as if wordpress doesn’t know where the themes are if I’m loggin in from a remote machine. If I login on the localhost, everything works fine. Also, if I try to click on a link from a remote machine after I’ve logged in, such as “Manage” or “write”, I get a “page cannot be found” error because instead of sending me to http://<ipaddress>/wordpress/blahblah.php it sends me to http://localhost/wordpress/blahblah.php (so in other words, it’s as if “localhost” is sort of hard coded even if you are connecting remotely. Any ideas here?
“Localhost” is in your settings in the database: Options > General the two URIs for the location of the blog.
It works on your machine because localhost is there, so it can find the stylesheet. When seeing from anywhere else – every (smart) computer “thinks” localhost is itself, therefore looking for the stylesheet locally 🙂
Change the URI options to <ipaddress>
