I seem to be speeding ahead here. I am actually starting to read through the Ubuntu documentation, and it is very informative, and presented in a logical fashion. Just found the page on installing domain name services. Once again, this is so far a breeze, i.e.
At a terminal prompt, enter the following command to install dns:
sudo apt-get install bind9
Ubuntu ships with BIND (Berkley Internet Naming Daemon), which is the most common program used for maintaining a name server on a Linux server.

Next step is to point a domain from the registrar to my Linux box. More reading required before I continue.
Hey, I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I like what you have to say. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
Glad to be of assistance, although what brought an SEO to a post on installing Bind? How is the link building business going? Is there still money to be made in link building for others?
