Openwrt, which is the original Debian-spinoff, gives you all the geeky options. �DD is based on Openwrt, but is designed by one guy who attempts to sell it commercially and recommends you support him when installing it on a router. �At this point DDwrt is a drop-in WebUI solution, while Openwrt pops you into a shell (during installation). �Tomato is highly recommended as it focuses on being totally user friendly, while including lots of features. �All of them are great. �There are other firmwares, which are designed around free software poitics, but I've never been interested in them.<br>
