I too would like to do the same....so I'm all ears. :) This is what I found when I was looking into GateD before. Somebody correct me if I'm misinformed. If you want the functionality of BGP, OSPF, or any other routing protocols, you have to pay a fee (read quite expensive for most) for what seems like a Bells-n-Whistles version of GateD. The free version that comes with Linux doesn't have functionality aside from RIP for routing protocols. :(
So, if there IS a way to get BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and maybe even (E)IGRP functionality with GateD or any other Daemon package that will run on Solaris (x86 or Sparc) or Linux (any flavour), - FOR FREE of Course, then let us know!!

I only have a 2501 right now. I plan on buying a couple more. I have a few spare Dell's and extra nic's at work lying around. I would like to load Linux or FreeBSD on those and use GateD to make them routers. The point of this is to have extra networks to connect to the Cisco's and practice OSPF and BGP for routing. This way I can have more routes to dynamically discover and more to troubleshoot. Has anyone done this before? If so could you lead me to some documentation on GateD? All I found through google were links to man pages.
