I agree here - sorta. I think if you're going to build a do-it-at-home
router, Linux is probably the optimal choice, but I think the stuff like
the Linux Router Project is a good idea. I don't want to go through a
distribution install, configuration, kernel configuration, firewall/router
setup, etc., when I can just download a floppy image, boot the machine,
and tell it what I want routed where.
