[ubuntu] Setting up Apache on a VM, have qustions

Hidy ho all,

I have a windows 10 machine at work. And, instead of surfing the internet while I wait for something to do, I figured it would be a good idea to start brushing up on my linux skills.

So I have a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu 15.10 32 bit. I installed apache on that system, and have it sharing my local machines NIC. Now I want to work on making sure I know how to remotely access this machine, and make changes via the CLI.

So my first question, how do I setup that machine for remote access?

Second question, is there a special way to remotely access an Ubuntu machine from a windows machine?

Edit:Third question, while I wait for those two up there. Where does apache2 put its web pages? So I can play around with creating basic html documents
