A few years ago, with firmware v.1, a flash took 5 minutes and came loaded with extra features (Bridging, VPN) but since v.3 I think, the images have to be smaller and less featured in order to fit on the tiny flash chips.

I tooled around with Linux for a few years off and on but really didn't get into it until I wanted my own web server but didn't want to screw around with IIS.
Since then, my practical uses for Linux have increased to include things like a thin client server and network security monitoring/data aquisition. The point is: it has to be useful to them personally.
