You don't have to use Linux - you can use FreeBSD or Solaris ;-) I believe ISC (or someone) has a version of their DHCP server for Windows too.....
We use an appliance that's part of our IP Address management system (IP Control) and it uses the ISC DHCP server - that's how I learned about it. Makes MS's offering look weak in comparison. It's pretty nice in a large campus environment - when you have thousands of workstations it lets you keep your pool sizes reasonable.
