Actually a bunch of linksys routers run linux. Here's an article I found: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040527.html
You can find hacked firmwares for other linksys routers as well.

Forget the exact name. I think the model is : WRT54G/GS. You can do really nice things with it, like having nice graphs of incoming/outgoing traffic. Supposidely it is just like a linux box. -or- You can get some old pentium machine and set it up as a 'router' with the use of a switch. Hope that helps. - Wojtek Ooks Server wrote: >Once again, I am descending into the depths of router hell. I replaced my >old Netgear router with a new Netgear 108mbps wireless router.
