I need a switch to connect a ltsp server, 10 clients and a gateway. I have CAT5E and CAT6 cabling and realtek gigabit integrated NICs. Considering that price is the same and that right now I only need 12 ports, should I buy a 16 gigabit ports switch or a 26ports (24x100Mbit + 2xgigabit) switch? The first choice is the obvious one, the second should prevent bottlenecks on the ltsp server (on a gigabit port) and allow switch future reuse in bigger classrooms.
