Those routers are very famous in Europe, but also in AUstralia and now in China, my company uses dozens of them, know people who have thousands): http://routerboard.com/pricelist.php?started_from_home=1 I would use Gentoo on them if I had a reason, but those routers are just fine (they include RouterOS, which is in many ways more advanced than many Cisco, belive or not, I know what I'm saying). It is possible to boot openWRT also, 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 3 mPCI slots for WLAN or anything else. JS
