I would use Gentoo on them if I had a reason, but those routers are just fine |
| 24 |
(they include RouterOS, which is in many ways more advanced than many Cisco, |
| 25 |
belive or not, I know what I'm saying). It is possible to boot openWRT also, |
| 26 |
so Gentoo should be possible here too. They're based on Linux. |

If you need 3 ports, just pick RB433 or RB433UAH - second has 680MHz, USB and |
| 29 |
3 mPCI slots for WLAN or anything else. |
