Lots of types interfaces? EIGRP? Things that Linux/PC does have is Hard drives that fail, etc; I guess you could do a flash thing, though. Other protocols, like IPX, Dec, ATalk, etc are not going to happen.

Eh? IPX : http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/IPX-HOWTO.html Decnet : http://linux.dreamtime.org/decnet/ Atalk : http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/

Also, for a long time, Linux had a hard time with lots or routes.

No longer applies. In fact Linux is now faster than BSD up to about 60-70,000 routes. BSD is faster at about 200,000. In between its about even.

If you are going to use a PC as a router, use an Unix that has real net code, like xBSD.
