I've been using a 4801 running leaf bearing fw which is linux for about 6 yrs. It works fine. Never have wore out a SD card but did have one board die during a thunder storm. I was most familiar with Linux is one reason I use it. But I have installed BSD on some wifi routers using the Soekris boards. I used it because the owner of the company liked it because it was 'free' and the fastest OS for routing packets. I never tested any of those facts but we are still using them in an ISP operation and they work just fine. FWIW
