[PLUG] name server question

["Michael Lazin" <mmlazin@hotmail.com>]

I am running a small home network behind a router.  I do not have a domain 
name, but am using dyndns to give my web server a domain name.  My network 
consists of the following machines:

A Windows xp box (running services for unix)
A Solaris box
A Mac running os X
a Linux laptop

I am using NFS, SSH, and VNC on these machines and I currently connect to 
them using their IP addresses.  I would like to set up a name server so I 
can refer to these machines by name.  I am new to this.  What should I use 
that will work with all these platforms?  I am thinking of adding a Linux 
box to my network and using it as the server.  What kind of specs does it 
need?

Thanks,

Michael
