Sorry - I thought it had already been discussed on this list :-).  Yes, it 
replaces the Linux bridging functionality - in fact, it has a compatibility 
layer that allows you to continue to use brctl and allows Linux network scripts 
to function.  It's still early in its development - it's stable, but has a long 
list of features that still need to be added.  Web site is 
http://open-vswitch.org.  It should work on just about any Linux distribution, 
although you may have to fidget with the kernel modules piece to get it work.
