Order now and you more likely than not will have your CD set, T-shirt or other cool stuff before the official release date. You get the chance to support the most important free software project on the planet, and get your hands on some cool playables and wearables early. The release page is still being filled in, but the changelog has detailed information about the goodies in this release."

Any one those cheap Linksys / D-Link routers will be limited to 30-40mbs because there is really only one 100mbps MII interface to the CPU. The uplink and LAN interfaces are separated out through VLANing with the built-in switch. So basically, all traffic has to go over the same 100mbps interface *twice*, thus halving the throughput. You can get an old Sun Netra X1 with dual NICs off of eBay for like $50.
