Use bug-fixed nasm-0.94, and assemble the source below like:
   nasm -f elf hello.asm
   gcc hello.o -o hello
   strip hello   
There is much to learn.  :-)

main:    
   push dword msg                ;stash the location of msg on the stack.
   call puts                     ;call the 'puts' routine (libc?) 
   add esp, byte 4               ;clean the stack?
   ret                           ;exit.
