What brand of switch does HOSEF recommend for LTSP implementation? Is there a significant difference between brands? ~Peter
Not speaking for HOSEF, I can heartily reccomend the 3Com SuperStack series if you want a larger, managed switch. They are significantly cheaper than comparable Cisco products, and come with most of the features you'd need for a smaller (non-corporate) installation.
I personally have a SuperStack II 3300 (24 ports) at home, and I love it. I can easily move 16MB/sec (full duplex, 100Mbit, one comp with a good NIC talking to two comps with crummy NICs) over a single port on it. It's been very reliable, despite the partial failure of one fan.
