Hi Amid, You can call me JP, or Juan. I tend to like GNOME also, and I use the terminals available (gterm, xterm if it's available). So far I've been reading documentation, there's two options when you're talking about DNS servers: BIND and djbdns. Both have a large amount of information and documentation running around the Web. >From my (short) experience setting up a mail server, I'd recommend BIND, although as I said before, the configuration is such a pain in the arse for beginners.
