Hmm, I hope this doesn't violate the policies of the debian user list -- I guess I'll find out soon enough ;-) Oh, as a data point, today I see a 5-port Gigabit switch on sale for $9.95 with free shipping. (If you go to the URL, you will see the price as $14.95 -- to get the $9.95 price, you have to subscribe to their mail list and then you will get a promo code that gives another $5 off. The sale ends on Sunday (not sure of the exact time). If i was going to buy one and not yet a subscriber, I'd subscribe, and then call them, explain that you have just subscribed, and ask for the promo code for this item (and possibly even placing the order while on the phone -- I usually buy "online"). (If you subscribe to their mail list, you will occasionally get advertisements with promo codes (for various items).) Disclaimer, I have no affiliation with Newegg, and get renumeration for any of this. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704042&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=IGNEFL041219&cm_mmc=EMC- IGNEFL041219-_-EMC-041219-Index-_-Switches-_-33704042-S0G&ignorebbr=1
