Maybe you can start with "water" (implementation of Smith and Waterman local alignment) in the EMBOSS package.

In Unbuntu: apt-get install emboss!

Wikipedia's List of sequence alignment software page is far from comprehensive... but it does provide a reasonable selection of options to start with.

For example: the list is missing some of the EMBOSS alignment programs

The below two pages list several options for aligning two reads.

BLAST (ie. BLAST2SEQ)

Edit: I second water too. Its very useful (albeit quite slow...)
