This will be 24 LTSP stations in a single computer room.  The lab is about
24 desks that are bolted to the ground.  The ceiling is already ugly with
exposed insulation, pipes and conduits, so a maze of wires wouldn't hurt
much.  The plan is currently to run wires from the switches in a bundle
hanging from the ceiling, and drop down to the rows of computers along the
wall on the side of each row.  Either that... or run three single wires to
each row, each with a single 8 port hub.

We'll have to figure out the final plan on Saturday.  I have very little
experience with wiring and switching, so someone more clueful in networking
will need to smack some sense into me.
