Coyote Linux is a perfect candidate if you just need a DHCP-server for your network, regardless of what type of machines you have in your network- Linux, Windows or Mac.
The only thing you have to configure differently, is to enable the DHCP-server. See 2.h
A short summary of making a Coyote Linux DHCP-server:
Coyote Linux as an Ordinary DHCP-server
Remember to answer Yes to the question «Do you want to enable the Coyote DHCP-server [y/n]:»
Once you have your Coyote Linux DHCP-server running, you will probably need to use a different address to login to it, if you didn't change the default LAN configuration:
Configuring system for Ethernet based Internet connection By default, Coyote uses the following settings for the local network interface: IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Broadcast: 192.168.0.255 Network: 192.168.0.0 Would you like to change these settings? [Y/N]: n
then you'll have to use the address 192.168.0.1 instead of 10.0.2.1 when logging in to the Coyote Linux web administrator, see Section 3.7 and Section 3.8
The new addresses are in this case:
ssh -l root 192.168.0.1
