For the unfamiliar... The Linksys WRT54Gx series were (and still are) incredibly popular, but to anyone considering buying one for use today: Please don't!
They've haven't been manufactured in years, will max out at about 35Mbps LAN-WAN throughput, have tiny flash (as noted above) and only support 802.11b/g.
There's plenty of modern-day equivalents to choose from. If you're really budget constrained, the cheapest widely available OpenWrt & DD-Wrt capable router I know of is the TP-Link TL-WR74x series which can be bought for <$20.
I still have a WRT54G from college. I didn't realize I had it until I had to work on my parents' network and found it plugged in. It did not survive the visit.
They were easy to set up and ran well at the time. Now, yes, definitely not something to pick up given all the vastly better alternatives out there.
