I am about to choose a switch for a primary school network that I am building, the network has 14 LTSP clients + 4 standalone off a sever with GBIC
(1000Mbps). Since this is the 'biggest' switch I have purchased and I am spending someone elses money, it couldn't hurt for me to hear some advice/recomendation on choosing a switch that is appropriate.


As always for small schools purchases are price sensitive and I am thinking a 24x100Mbps+2x1000Mbps unmanaged switch for about $800 should fit the bill, but I would be interested to know if there is much differnece bewteen brands models in this price range or wheather there is a justifyable advantage with managed switches?

Relavance ? If I get it right there will be one more showcase LTSP installation locally and a whole lot more kids that know something about Linux!

cheers
