I personally have no objections if you can put together a system
that's as stable or more stable than a hardware router.  Call me
biased if you'd like, it's just that I've spent the last week trying
to get some phantom glitches out of one of my newer custom-built
boxes.

I don't have a whole lot of experience with the open source
alternatives, just the underlying hardware, so I guess I have yet to
see how stable the actual software really is.
