School me on Tomato firmware

After frustration with Shaw's mediocre service I thought I'd get the most out of my router instead of giving in and
1) giving them more of my money
or
2) buying any of their wireless hardware so they'd actually give me phone support beyond "Unplug your coaxial cable and reverse the ends to which its plugged in to depolarize the line" or "Bypass your power bar and plug your power cord directly into the wall for better electrical strength" (both suggestions I have actually received from them)


I have a WRT160N v3 and I've been thinking about Tomato's Shibby mod.
I don't have a Linux system to deploy it with. I guess I could USB boot into Ubuntu but I'd rather deploy from Windows if possible.

Or is Tomato old news? Should I be looking elsewhere for custom router firmware?

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
