[SLL] DHCP server

I have a couple locations where I need a DHCP server on our network (remote
locations connected via a hardware VPN) and I was thinking I might use a
couple of our P2/P3 "junkers" for that and run linux on them.
What would you guys recommend for a DHCP server to handle maybe 50 clients at
one time (WAY more than we'll ever need at either location, but just picking
a figure out of the air!)
I think Fedora would be overkill and was thinking something like Puppy linux
or DSL or something like that.
Text-only interface would work for me. Don't need anything fancy, just
something to hand out IP addresses. Domain authentication would be handled
the way it is currently by our Windows 2003 DCs. Most of our users at these
two locations have hard-coded IP addresses. I'd just like someting quick and
easy to allow visitors from the main location (where my office is located) to
plug up to the network, get an IP address and get onto the WAN / internet.
Thanks!
