there are plenty of router versions of linux, depends what you want to get out of it. firewalls like ipcop do a great job of internet routing if that's what you are after, or there are distro's like RouterOS which purport to be dedicatd rotuers.
as for cisco... wtf would you spend good money on a high performance router and then delete ios off of it??? the mind boggles...
