Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is more often known as “Linux”, and many users are not aware of the extent of its connection with the GNU Project.
Zope is a relatively obscure but powerful open source application server based on Python programming language. Zope has been around for over half a decade but is relatively unknown in the market due to its perhaps eccentric nature as compared to market heavyweights such as J2EE and .NET.

The two operating systems are generally very similar, but they have some important differences:
Linux behaves more like System V UNIX, while NetBSD is more similar to the Berkeley flavors of UNIX. From an end user perspective, Linux tends to support more and newer hardware, and tends to have a larger share of users. NetBSD tends to support less new hardware, but its support for existing hardware is always very solid. Linux comes in several
distributions from different groups such as RedHat, Debian, Caldera, and Slackware, whereas NetBSD has only one distribution. Continue reading Linux and NetBSD

The nameserver is a program that matches an IP address say (192.168.0.244) to a hostname say (test.linuxnepal.com.np). It also provides for matching in the opposite direction as well, informing you that the machine that has the address 192.168.0.244 is called test.linuxnepal.com.np.
To setup the Domain Name Server, following files and directories have to be handled.
1. /etc/resolv.conf (File)
2. /etc/named.conf (File)
3. /var/named (Directory)
