Dig command not found

I want to dig google.com from Ubuntu server, suddenly bash return error mentioned that dig command not found.

root@vps2006:~# dig google.com ns +short
-bash: dig: command not found


I have installed dnsutils in order to use dig.

root@vps2006:~# apt-get install dnsutils

As a result, now I'm able to dig to any domain that I want :D

root@vps2006:~# dig google.com ns +short
ns3.google.com.
ns4.google.com.
ns1.google.com.
ns2.google.com.

There are two ways to check GNOME version. First way is the easiest way. Go to

My bandwidth speed test

Hohohoho...

Sorry guys, maybe this is out of topic to post in Yazidbuntu. But anyway I want to share my feelings to all over the World.

Finally I get what I want and the most important is I get what I have paid for my home DSL package. Before this my download speed only at 400++ kbps even after 3 months I have upgraded my DSL package to 1Mbps. Now I'm the most happy person in Malaysia!

To all TM especially Streamyx staff, you guys must dedicated to your work, listen to customer complain carefully and you must take high responsibility to your work. I want to say million of thanks to TM technical staff who came to my house to do troubleshooting until this issue fixed.

I'm proud to be Malaysian

Selamat datang ke blog Yazidbuntu

Assalamualaikum,

Blog ni saya tujukan kepada semua penggemar Ubuntu yang berada di Malaysia mahupun di seluruh dunia.

Melalui blog ini saya ingin berkongsi pengalaman dan pendapat saya kepada anda semua sepanjang usia saya menggunakan Ubuntu. Anda juga boleh menulis pendapat anda agar kita semua dapat berkongsi ilmu pengetahuan mengenai Ubuntu.

Saya menulis blog ini menggunakan laptop IBM T60 yang telah dilengkapi perisian sistem pengoperasi Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. Seronok rasanya dapat kembali menggunakan Ubuntu bersama-sama dengan VPN tempat saya bekerja. Sebelum ni saya menggunakan Intrepid, saya menghadapi kesulitan menggunakan VPN. Namun setelah saya down grade ke Hardy, semua masalah itu tidak muncul lagi. Walaupun agak kecewa sedikit dengan Intrepid, namun Hardy berjaya mengubati hati saya yang telah terluka :P

Kepada anda semua di luar sana, selamat membaca dan berkongsi pengalaman menggunakan Ubuntu.
