I used my ShivaPlug as a router/firewall for a couple of years until the 
SSD card died (not a problem with the Shiva itself of course).  It worked 
really well for typical Rogers home connection with the NIC on the local 
lan and a USB-RJ45 connecter for the world.  Low low power requirements. 
It was running Debian 5.0 FWIW.

Cheers,

Rob
