Good luck to them entering a tough market... they'll need it. Seems to
me that Cisco, Netgear, etc. pretty much have the router/firewall
market all wrapped up. Hopefully someone will post the first time they
see a Vyatta router being used somewhere.

On the other hand I (finally) got around to flashing my WRT54G (v4)
Linksys router with DD-WRT firmware. For anyone who isn't familiar
DD-WRT is opensource firmware for Linksys (owned by Cisco) routers.
It's a 2-step process... first you flash the "mini" firmware which
preps the device then you flash it with the "standard" version of the
firmware.

The upgrade has some *very* cool features that the standard firmware
from Linksys didn't support.
