Hi tddybugs
no, the dynamic IP is just that; dynamic, meaning that it will most probably change once every 24Hrs when your adsl router auto-reconnects to the ISP. Therefor, you cannot assign a name to it, because it is never the same. That is where dynamicDNS services come into play; they will provide you with DNS servers that will change the IP attached to the name each time your adsl modem gets a new IP.

look at dyndns.com or google "dynamic dns"
You can sign up with any of those ppl to get a "static" URL assigned to your dynamic IP. You need to install some software on your Linux box that will poll their nameservers regularly to give them your IP. When your IP changes, they update their DNS servers so people can still access your site.
For different services, you will need to make changes to your domains' zone file; which will most probably be hosted by the ppl you choose to sign up with. So, choose one that allows you to change the zone file, or make changes. You could however "host" your own DNS and make the zonefile changes yourself, but that is more complicated to do.
