Where is the Quagga package?  BTW if you want VRRP there is a keepalived
package available.  I am using one I made a long time ago, but I thought
someone else made a newer one with ipvs support, too..

If you use the right kernel driver it is 'out of the box' with any kernel >=
2.4.20.  For example, Intel gigabit cards with e1000 driver.  I have heard
that tg3 (bcm5700) is also not bad, so long as your kernel is very recent
(>= 2.4.25?).

Caveats:
-Don't use SMP. (I think hyperthreading probably falls into this category).
-Use 64-bit cards.
-Use PCI-X.
-Get a nice big fast processor ( > 2ghz ).
