Yup. For example, try port forwarding access to apps with hardcoded listening ports on two computers with a Linksys. Can't do it? Aw.... too bad.... My Linux box can. Your Linksys can't assign the same IP to your computers every time with DHCP? My Linux box can. My linux box also does traffic shaping, IE, I can play games without lag when downloading, and still have great download speeds when I upload files.
