I want a router that I can tinker with more than most of the lower end
ones available.

Seems that of the several I have, none accept an opensource OS.

So, I'd like to see posted a list of low to mid end routers out there
that are known to accept opensource alternative OS.

What I now own... just in case I've not done my homework as well as I
think

  Cisco RVS4000 4-port Gigabit Security Router
  linksys E2500
  linksys WRT120n
  Netgear FVS-318

But even if one or more of these will take Alternate OS, still a nifty
list would be handy.

If any posters want to respond mentioning the names of those they know
do accept alternative OS, I will compile the list and post it.

I realize one can lookup on opensource router OS sites, if a specific
router is supported... but this list will take things the other way
round and should be quite handy.

On those sites you can search a specific router... so you need the
router names in advance.

I'm looking to create a list that shows router names known to work
so you may at a glance pick a router known to work.
