The only other thing to add here is that for your home network requirements of an "unmanaged switch" pretty much any used gig switch you find at Free Geek and/or Goodwill will suffice.
I recently saw a whole slew of Netgear gig switches that someone donated. If you're paying pennies on the $, you can buy a couple for what you buy 1 new.  When they die, just donate them to FG to recycle. - Mike _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
