need to setup a dns server on linux
I installed mandrake linux on a computer and want to use it only as a DNS server. Can anyone help with this? Would it be easier to use redhat? I need to know which dns server is easiest to install and configure on a linux OS, preferably mandrake since its already installed but i have redhat too. The only thing i need it for is a DNS server. Thank you.

I should clarify. I am a newbie to linux. OK, I just installed redhat, can someone turn on a light?
I chose DNS server during the install. How do I start to configure DNS server? please help a linux illiterate today

The configuration is not that complicated in redhat .
