Is your internet working? Make sure bind is indeed running,

sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart

Edit: Bind should now be installed, the error you got could be due to Bind not running or the us.archive.ubuntu.com being down.

I found this thread in the Ubuntu forums

[Infiltrator]

No problems. Glad you got it sorted!

[xhacks]

but now i need to know how to add my dns info into it i want to use gedit if possible i like graphical more

[Infiltrator]

In order to add new dns records, you will need to edit the named.config file

sudo vi /etc/bind/named.conf

This threads can walk you through that process a lot easier than I could.

Edit: And if you watch, the last episode of Hak5, you will see that Darren demonstrates how to open a text file in a graphic user interface.
