	UNIX/Linux is the same thing.

	What kind of DNS service ?  Authoritative ? (hosting zones)
	Caching/Recursive (to serve clients) ?  Or both ?

	There are several software candidates to fit your bill,
including
	BIND, NSD, PowerDNS, tinydns depending on your needs.

	Well, running Windows as an OS to serve DNS outside of a
corporate
	environment is considered overkill, and even Microsoft
recommends
	not using MS DNS in this setup.
