AFAIK, there is little the tomato firmware provides that DD-WRT doesn't 
.  DD-WRT seems to be the dominant Open Source firmware out there, and 
actually has good ipkg support - allowing you to install a plethora 
(many ;-) ) different packages.  In my experience, it's be rock solid 
(note: And not in the Northern Rock way ;-), 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Rock) .

I believe that "White Russian" was the original "code name" for the 
OpenWRT released firmware, of which there are numerous forks.  The new 
version is Kamikaze, but I don't think than many OpenWRT variants (like 
DD-WRT) actually use it (yet).

Pretty much everyone (tomato included) uses the Linksys released WRT54GL 
source code as its starting point...

Basically, its a linux distribution designed to run on the WRT54G series 
of routers, and related hardware.
