I've been using IPCOP for a year or two now, love it. there is a bootable cd and the install is painless (except your using an old 166Mhz system like me, and have to find boot floppy's to remember the IRQ's of your ISA network cards, etc).
I would recommend it for a router, it just works, no problems, support is great, and the user interface is good.
Speaking of IPCOP, I really should upgrade.... hmmm, now to find some blank floppies to save my configuration to.

Install was pretty easy despite not being graphical. The only time it's a little confusing is paying close attention to which interface is which:
Red Interface --> External, ethX
Green --> Internal network, ethY
There wasin't a bootable ISO that I could find, but creating a boot floppy which then allowed a CD or network installation was just fine.
I would recommend IPCop type arrangement. I'm getting alot more of my bandwidth than I was getting with my router and fewer restarts (I was restarting EVERY day with the old LinkSys).
I was a little shocked to have had to restart IPCop after 11 days... my feeling was that probably had to do more with Telus than IPCop...
