RE: Hub Recommendations
If you can afford switches then definitely get them instead of Hubs. I love Extreme switches. Great product at a great price. Most products are pretty similar technically and its often the support for the product by the company that makes the difference.

RE: Hub Recommendations
I've got two 'Linksys' brand 'Etherfast II 24 port switches' in use at my company here and they've been great. I would say it that it depends on how complex your network is in terms of whether or not you need to get a managed device (an indirect way of saying I have -no- idea what the specific benefits of a managed device are, only that it probably caters to scenarios of increased network complexity). Linksys products are cheap and from 4-5 years of retail experience I can say they have a relatively low failure rate (rate of return). If at all possible, spend the extra bucks and go with switches. They are MUCH more efficient than conventional hubs. I'm not going to re-invent the wheel by describing the differences between a hub and a switch, check out www.atomica.com (use the search at the top to look for 'lan switch' and 'lan hub').

Re: Hub Recommendations
You get a lot more network throughput with switches because there wont be any collisions with a switch. We use Cisco 2948 switches but we have a fiber backbone switched through a Cisco 4000 fiber switch.If you dont have any fiber then you can get all 10/100 a lot cheaper.

RE: Hub Recommendations
I've always thought that if you can afford switches, they would be the better option. I personally like the HP ProCurve switches. The only problem I've had was with one that wasn't plugged into a UPS. We had short brownout and the switch wasn't responding when the power came back. I just had to cycle the power again and everything was normal.
