I've installed it from source on several Ubuntu servers (2 8.04's and a 6.06)
without incident. I found some debian/ubuntu based instructions somewhere.
It's a bit tedious to install, but works well enough w/o borking anything. I
get so used to 'apt-get install' that things like patching, compiling, etc are
a PITA. And this rascal has a number of pieces to it. The only one I use is
tinydns, BTW. I did not know about the Ubuntu packages at the time, or I
definitely would have tried going that route.
