This really falls outside the scope of the list. You probably will be fine without QoS. I was on my 10 mbit network. I would think 100 mbit switch without QoS will probably be enough unless you are pumping a lot of big files and video over your network. The places that should support QoS are your bottlenecks, like your interface to the Internet. Also, none of your current devices support PoE right now, so why bother with it? Get a cheap switch now. They keep coming down in price and gigabit is becoming more prevalent every day. PoE is really nice *if* you have devices that support it. Good luck. -Nate _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
