I'm not sure what all that means (language barrier, perhaps), but I
have some gripes with what I do understand.

First, re: Fedora, no one distro/OS can truly claim to be best.  The
best advice to a beginner is to choose one and to learn it very well.
Fedora can be a good choice, as can other GNU/Linux distros, as also
can be various *BSD flavors.  The point is: it depends what the user
is comfortable to manage.

False.  A chroot is a fine idea if you know how to set it up and to
maintain it, but it is certainly not a requirement for a beginner.  A
beginner in BIND (as in anything else) will do best by starting simple
and building on what is learned.

Also, while DNS is indeed a target of abuse, I honestly cannot recall
a single exploit of BIND 9 that would lead to system penetration.  It
is true that BIND's named has had more than its share of security
issues and bugs, but TTBOMK all of these have been crashes, causing
only denial of service.
