Actually the Apple-routers (Time Capsule, Airport (Express)) can only  
be configured via an application by Apple that works only w/ OS X or  
Win but you don't want to have one of those if there isn't a real good  
reason (like music distribution via iTunes/Airport Express-combo or  
you are total compuert inept and need the easy-configurability which  
those products offer).
Even for a TC there is no reason anymore if you are computer-savvy and  
don't fear to configure netatalk   And in this case you can even have  
ZFS thanks to FreeBSD (don't know the state of netatalk in Open Solaris)
