Yes, the older v3/4 machines (or the new -GL routers) are the ones
you want if you want to hack them with Linux. I've got two of them
(and had a third hanging out my window for Hosstraders last weekend).
However, if you'd like a teeny one to throw in the bottom of your bag
of tricks for onsite consulting, the little units look intriguing.
I'd expect they're under-powered and under-featured, but caveat emptor!
On the DLSLUG mailing list a few months ago we talked about the
different versions of WRT-54G's and how to pick out the hackable ones:

The newer WRT-54G no longer run linux. As of v5, they cut the ram
and flash in half and run vxworks. The overall production cost is
less then before. They do offer the WRT-54GL does run linux as v4
and earlier do. I don't think you'll see many discounts on them
though :-(
