I used debug.exe just a few semesters ago, but I don't remember it well.  If you have an executable that you have already assembled, then check out gdb...(GNU debugger).  It is a staple for any linux programmer, in fact, if you go on to higher level programs like c or c++ you can use if for those also.  There are also quite a few GUI frontends to make it easier to use.

I want to browse the ram contents and write some really simple
assembly programs. For the later I guess nasm could do the trick, but
for the former I guess I need another tool
