are their any routers that work better than others with Linux(Ubuntu). I
wouldnt mind someday installing tomato on the router or some other
firmware upgrade to increase capability.

In general, a stand-alone router isn't going to care what operating
system your computer is running. Something such as WRT54GL already runs
a Linux-based OS and can be upgraded with third-party firmware. But that
has nothing to do with the operating system on your computer. |

As long as you are using ethernet, you should be OK. If you are planning to
use USB or wireless networking, you should definitely check before purchasing.
There is a problem with the Netgear RP614 hanging, so I would avoid this
model. I don't know whether other Netgear devices are affected with the
same bug, but if you are using customized firmware, this may not be a
concern for you. You will obviously need a router that works with your
intended firmware.
