Alright, I've looked at quite a bit of guides and it still took me a while to figure out which files to edit to get it all to work right. So I decided to build this guide to help anyone in need.

First off, lets open up terminal ( Appilications > Accessories > Terminal ).

Then, lets edit sources.list and add Stephen001's repository (see more about this here: http://www.byond.com/members/LinuxGuild?command=view_comments&post=47883)

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
//and at the bottom we want to add: 
deb http://home.sevon.co.uk/byond/ubuntu hardy non-free


Now we're going to install LAMP+BYOND to enable DMCGI ussage.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get install byond-core
wget http://www.byond.com/download/gcc/libstdc++.so.5
sudo mv libstdc++.so.5 /lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/byond/bin


Now everything we need has been installed, now we just need to configure a few files. First, lets edit 'mime.conf' 
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/mods-available/mime.conf

//Find 'AddHandler cgi-script .cgi' and change it to 'AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .dmb'
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .dmb


Now lets edit 'dir.conf'
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf

//add index.dmb to the end of directory index so it looks like:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm index.dmb


Finally lets edit 'default'

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

//Since there's a bit to add, I'm just going to copy and paste the entire file
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    
    DocumentRoot /var/www/
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/
    <Directory "/var/www">
        AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
    ServerSignature On

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>


Now we have succesfully installed BYOND and DMCGI... now we just have to test it. Download to desktop: http://www.byond.com/members/Killer22/files/index.dmb And in termal lets do this... 
mv /home/[username]/Desktop/index.dmb /var/www
chmod 755 /var/www/index.dmb

Now lets test the site, goto http://127.0.0.1/index.dmb (Note: If the page continuously refreshes, then it's not setting cookies correctly. I'm also having this problem.)

Congrats, you've succesfully installed BYOND+DMCGI.
