Have a look at those sites. They have forums, FAQs and so on that will
give a reasonable indication of this.

LRP is quite popular and successful for a number uses and is implemented
in a broad array of sites.

The Eiger variant LRP was used in a NZ ISP, but the maintainer decided
that the packaging system was not what he liked. He is now working on a
mini variant of Debian with the Debian team.

The Oxygen variant of LRP has caught my attention for the momment.

Freesco is good for home usage, and as it develops I am sure it will be a
sound solution for larger networks.
