Hal answered this perfectly :)
I personally prefer a linux box, but it is more work to setup, uses mor
epower, takes up more space, and could be inscure if you don't know
what you are doing. The upside is you have ultimate controll and
flexibility. For example if you want to have three nics (to have two
seperate LANs behind your firewall), the linksys can no longer
compete. Similat arguments can be made for software, like port fowarding
different ports for different protocols to different machines.
