Recently, I found that Apache2 Virtual Hosting is really easy in Linux. I used Ubuntu Hoary distribution, which can be termed as updated and polished avtar of Debian. The steps for enabling Virtualhost for Apache2 is as follows -
1. Install Apache-2
#apt-get install apache2
2. Add site specific configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
#vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.org
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org
DocumentRoot /home/example/www/example.org
ServerName example.org:80
CustomLog /home/example/www/log/apache2-access.log combined
ErrorLog /home/example/www/log/apache2-error.log
3. Enable the site
#a2ensite example.org
4. Restart Apache
#/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Once you are done, point your browser to https://example.org

#apt-get install apache2
