You can use DOSBox with TASM(an x86-16 assembler/debugger).
To install the current version of DOSBox on Ubuntu:

1. Install DOSBox

   sudo apt-get install dosbox 

2. Download TASM(Turbo Assembler) and TD(Turbo Debugger)

   Get a source for this

3. Extract it to a known location, like /home/user/tasm

4. Open DOSBox

5. Mount the path in DOSBox with

   mount c /home/user/tasm

6. Execute and enjoy

There were several tutorials on the www, but I didn't succeed in finding one that is still complete and available. Partial solutions can be found here or here. But both are without pictures.
