I don't get this. Why can we only do RIP on linux? I've seen gated,
routed, zebra routing daemons, who all do (more or less) BGP, OSPF
and more protocols... Running them is not limited to a linux<->router
system it seems to me.
PS. RIP isn't used in the kernel, is it? RIP needs also an external
daemon to function and updates the normal routing table(s)
