If you’re like me new to Ubuntu, you’d rather install your software through Aptitude instead of dealing with editing various config files and moving files and archives around, so needing to get up to speed on MongoDB, i looked for a quick way to get it set up and sure enough:

This link will get you up and running real quick on Ubuntu 11.10 with Mongo 2.0.2 and if you are ready to start learning MongoDB, head over to NetTut’s two part tutorial on the topic:
