i bought this router because i gave away my previous wrt54g (the blue one)to a friend. that one worked well with my linux desktop and laptop, and based on that, i purchased this one. neither were the designated "linux" version. you don't need to buy the linux edition if you have linux machines and all you want to do is connect to the internet. linux edition costs more, i believe.
it was sold as refurbished and i was hesitant to buy it first because of that. but i bought it none the less, and it works just as well as my old one. html based config page is exactly the same as the old one, and if you're technically knowledgeable, it lets you do a lot of stuff, like port forwarding and connection blocking based on mac address. anyways, after having it for six months, the router is still going strong both for my linux and windows computers, and i hope to have it for few more years, and upgrade to N or whatever new is out there.
from my experience, linksys routers tend to be more reliable than d-link and netgear and i use mostly linux. it's just my experience and not an endorsement. i have seen lots of good reviews of d-link and netgear equipments.Get more detail about Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router.
