I don't have much to add, but I am very happy this list is active again.

I've been toying with the idea of replacing an aging Cisco with either a 
used Juniper box or a PC running *BSD.  Everytime I look at Quagga or 
Zebra, I'm not impressed.  They both sound quite buggy...

How many folks here are doing routing on a PC platform?  These days almost 
all the links we need to support are ethernet, with our DSL stuff being 
the one exception (ATM OC-3).
