Are you talking about routing 1Gb/s or routing on a 1Gb/s network?  If the 
former then you should probably buy a box from Cisco, Foundry, or one of the 
other router vendors.  If the latter then Linux may work, but you'll really 
be pushing it (and you'll want the fastest Athlon CPU available).

I've yet to see a report of anyone getting more than 700Mb/s in lab 
conditions, let alone in real use!
