There are Linux RPM's for both, I run them at home on a Redhat 7.2 box..
Any old intel, sparc, or Alpha compatible box with a Nic will do. You
can download the Redhat CDRom ISO images from redhat..

You can find your RPM's at http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ do a search
for "tacacs" or "radius"
Redhat can be found at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/iso/i386 for "i386" intel
compatibles.. you only need the two image files (not the SRPMS), most cd
burner software will work,, you may need 800minute cdroms..

The real trick is setting up the configuration files...

P.S. Yes I am a linux fan, the other benifits are free protocol
analyzers (ethereal), GateD and Zebra if you need more BGP or OSPF
peers, Those doing the security cert may be interested in snort and
nesseus an excellent and free security scanner..
