While it may not forward packets exactly like an M-series or MX, for the OP=
's purpose of simply learning JUNOS in a home lab, it will work just fine. =
I learned quite a bit using Olives (which don't exist), with the understan=
ding that there were a lot of limitations.=20
To the OP, I would also suggest checking out Juniper's website, specificall=
y the 'Education' section. There are a ton of excellent learning tools on =
there - Learning Bytes, Web-Based Training, Day One books, etc.:
