"less-expensive" switch hardware

[Jeff Mings]

    The Linksys switches have an internal backplane speed of 2.7Gbps, 
which is higher than the DLink switches' apparent speed of 1.6Gbps. 
 Linksys stuff has always worked out for me, and they generally make a 
point of supporting Linux with their  NICs.  Anyone have a preference 
for a brand of "less-expensive" switches?

Thanks for your answer,
-Jeff Mings
