Router with linux (ubuntu?) in vmware

[PAz]

Hi guys

I'm a linux noob and have a quick Q if someone can just point me in the right direction...

I've got a vmware lab with machines in three different subnets that I need to get talking to eachother. Is this fairly straight forward to do with linux? I can do it with RRAS but would like to have a play with something new.

Ubuntu be good for this? Obviously I'll need 3 nics, but how easy is the actual nic configuration? GUI or do I need to delve into terminal stuff?

Happy to go and read if someone can point me where

Thanks for the info. Wasn't aware there was a cisco vmware appliance so will check that out
