My company just replaced a Cisco PIX firewall appliance with some IBM
hardware running Vyatta. We've gained some performance in our firewall
and router and are much happier.
You can run the community download which is a release or two behind the
main project, or you can purchase a Vyatta subscription which gives you
support and the latest and greatest.
My company has been extremely happy with Vyatta and their support is superb.
Try quagga (www.quagga.net), it is based on zebra, as you can see on the site the last version was released 9/2007, the last version of zebra it's from 9/2005.
Check this url* http://www.openmaniak.com/quagga.php it is a good tutorial.
I'm looking for an open source router solution, and someone from the list recently recommended zebra (www.zebra.org). I haven't yet identified all my needs, but
I'm guessing that it will do all my routing needs for*a, say, class C set of IP addresses, particularly if I ever have to do anything BGP-related.
*
Anyone have any pointers before I delve in?* Or possibly a recommendation for another open source routing solution?* Yeah, I know about Cisco stuff, but I'm hoping to limp along on a shoestring budget until I get a few more things in place, then I'll rethink everything.

Hi Rogelio
There is / was a project called something like the CD router project. It would
turn an old PC with all the PCI slots filled with NIC's and a CD ROM drive
into a router. Don't know if its still around and I'm not on line at the
moment to have a look. I'm almost sure I have a copy on CD at home some
where, if you want let me know and I will have a look for it.

CentOS / Red Hat distribute quagga which is a fork of zebra. Same
interface, which in itself is almost 100% cisco syntax. You could also
check out Vyatta .. they make open source routers .. not sure what their
pricing/features are though.
