Managed versus unmanaged has little to do with being connected to a
server.
A managed hub provides an admin with fairly advanced reporting,
diagnostic and chatter correction capabilities (among a few other
things).
This in turn differs from a switch (which may also come, managed or
unmanaged).
A small switch when combined with Fast Ethernet cards will give you
optimal performance.
It need not be managed.

Subject: [newbie] OT: Network Hub Question
We are looking at setting up a test small network at work , and are
wanting
a cheapish hub. I was looking at getting a Netgear DS108. Which i also
have
at home (its work great peer-to-peer). The real question i want to know
is
will this hub work when connected to a server (ie managed as apposed to
the
unmanaged setup i have at home).
The idea is the small network will have a test win2000 server on it,
then
adding Linux boxes to it
