You might also want to be aware of the apache documentation which is 
usually installed with apache.  I have it installed on Linux and BSD 
boxes and SSI's are listed on the front page.  Start your server up and 
try this link : http://localhost/manual/howto/ssi.html which you might 
find looks remarkably similar to 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/ssi.html

Just for what it's worth (which probably isn't very much) I don't 
believe in this 'thou shalt not edit the config files' vein of thought 
at all.  Apache 2.0 has heavily reorganised the config files but I 
personally feel very very free to edit what the hell I want to on my own 
non-production machines and I'll recompile the whole lot if I feel like 
it too tyvm :).

I tried Ubuntu early on, it's nice enough but I port scanned the box and 
found an open port < 1024.  Posted somewhere on an ubuntu list and they 
said 'they needed this port open for things they had to do'.  Not the 
exact words but that was the essence of the reply.  They were no more 
specific than that so ... with one root controlled port open and one 
root account they'd attempted to make inaccessible (but easily got 
round), against a load of distros that don't do that, I decided not to 
pursue Ubuntu any further.

Anyway HTH.
