Sally,
Get BIND ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.2.2-P5/bind-src.tar.gz
It should compile and install easily on Linux. You can also probably
get rpms for bind if you use redhat or friends. If this is your first
experience with DNS then buy the Orielly book DNS and BIND by Cricket
Liu. It is really helpful for setting up a DNS server.
Once you have bind up and running and understand how to add zones and
basic management your linux box can be used as a DNS server.
You will also need to contact internic and register your linux box as a
name server.
