    The routing stuff is all there if you know what you're doing. It just doesn't have all the "X-FI!!!!!" stuff written all over it, and there's no shiny GUI by Creative for it.

    Funny, a lot of the software you listed is security stuff which isn't necessary in Linux by design. However, if you really wanted to there are plenty of AV's for Linux, both free & commercial. That being said, there are more anti-virii for Linux than virii, and there are ZERO Linux virii in the wild; none. Nada. Zilch. Nein. Not one. So, it seems like a major waste of resources to me.

    Viruses are not effective on Linux because of the ways it's designed. As a result, it's pointless to write them.
