Installed django on ubuntu today. Do not make the mistake of installing django from the synaptic package manager. Firstly, its an older version than the current 1.0.2 and secondly, it does not install it in your python "site-packages" folder.
The best way to do it is as they say on the django site. Download the tar file and install using python setup.py install. The cool thing about this is is that I found that the symlinks were also created for you. I could access django-admin.py from any directory in my machine.
I also installed postgreSQL and psycopg2 (the python interface for postgres) from the synaptic package manager and I was good to go with django in a matter of minutes! For now I am developing with the webserver bundled inside django but I hope to be switching to apache with mod_wsgi soon.
I hope to be tinkering a lot with django over the next few weeks.
