Although it conflicts with the original goal of Linux as a *NIX for cheap
hardware, the use of Linux on Cisco hardware will benefit those who have
simple routing tasks to do and do not need a bloated -whoops, feature rich
OS for the job. good WAN cards for x86 boxes can be expensive and
troublesome, this could solve some real world problems with custom network
systems and applications that need direct access to network hardware, and
the Cisco hardware with Linux will also be great for development of new
protocols.
