I would like to set up a DNS on my system, just to learn really, how difficult and what all is involved in the set up? How difficult?
Is not really so dificult , you may even have DNS server installed on your server , only have to start the bind daemon. ( use nmap , to see if port 53 for DNS server is open ).

DNS , is not hard to set .Default settings are just very good for a begginer , but if you want to set up zones , and other thing's , you have much more to work.

For rpm's try yum command ( not sure working under Mandriva , works under Fedora ..)
