When I was investigating this device, I ran across forums where folks 
claimed to have blasted Linux over the top of the "RouterOS" that's 
pre-installed. But if that's what you're going to do, there are probably 
more capable devices out there -- but if you *need* five ethernet ports, 
there's apparently not much else to choose from in that form factor.
