-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 for home network gear - i have used both the linksys SR2024 and the dell powerconnect 5324. they both support vlans and have full mgmt - command line and web. the linksys is about half the price of the dell. they do not do layer 3, which for home use isn't needed i'm guessing. for the nics i'm a big fan of the intel e1000's - they have good support for linux and have done well for me. i use cat5e for connectivity and get good throughput on the network. my 2 cents.
