Thanks Andre,
for answering my call for help,
I tried to answer you questions as best as I could below:
Tomcat was installed using the synaptic packet management
I just ticked tomcat6 and hit the apply button, and tomcat and all its
dependencies
were installed and http://locaclhost:8080 started to work,
that was the easy part :-)
karl@sonoma:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin$ ./version.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat6/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk
Using CLASSPATH: /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar
Server version: Apache Tomcat/6.0.24
Server built: March 24 2011 1829

OS Name: Linux
OS Version: 2.6.32-31-generic
Architecture: i386
JVM Version: 1.6.0_20-b20

karl@sonoma:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin$
karl@sonoma:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin$ echo $JAVA_HOME

My web.xml is located here:
karl@sonoma:/usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/ch1/WEB-INF$ ls
classes web.xml
My servlet is located here:
karl@sonoma:/usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/ch1/WEB-INF/classes$ ls
Ch1Servlet.class
karl@sonoma:/etc/tomcat6$ ls
Catalina context.xml policy.d tomcat-users.xml
catalina.properties logging.properties server.xml web.xml
karl@sonoma:/etc/tomcat6$
---------------------------------------------------------------
My grep for "host" in server.xml:
karl@sonoma:/etc/tomcat6$ grep -A 5 "[Hh]ost" server.xml
on to the appropriate Host (virtual host).
