Zebra seems to be dead, XORP, as far as I know, is not widely used in production environments.

I'm afraid you're left with Quagga.

If you want to learn routing as opposed to using in production, a mix of the Cisco emulator dynamips, and the Juniper "Olive" VM hacks gives you an amazing learning environment.

True, neither Cisco nor Juniper really approve of these, but they do work very well.

Not so much a recommendation, but a suggestion: Bird
