alternatives exist

I should mention to readers that might have been unaware of turris and it's campaign and have a higher budget to play with than what has been previously discussed here that they have up to May 5th to get the indigo campaign specific stuff.

Once that date has passed only products intended for future retail sale will remain available [1].

Note this is completely open project on a completely open hardware ( as it can be ) and people will be able to replace the turris openwrt with their own distribution if they so much want ( which alot of people will do including myself ) in fact the cz.nic guys already have given Andreas Färber ( suse/arm ) one of their prototype to experiment with to do just that and Andreas has already gotten opensuse running on it and shared the instruction how he did so with the opensuse community here [4] ( which should be enough to get other distribution and people started ).

Here are some couple of other links readers might find useful [3][4].

I've got one on order.

I do a bit more than just playing with it for fun. I run the wireless network at the Scale conference, this year I deployed about 120 APs around the convention center.
