BIND will work with virtually any current UNIX, Linux, or *BSD system
on virtually any computer hardware in existence, and also (but less
well IMHO) on some MS Windows server configurations on both Intel and
Alpha hardware.  I have no doubt that it will also compile and run on
other operating systems.  Installation is easy - follow the cookbook
rules.

Disk space required is not great - I have ca 30 Mb for one source
directory and 15 Mb for the binary installation.  Nowadays that does
not seem much.

The rest is very much dependent on how you will use it.
