Linksys or Netgear

Netgear. Called Linksys to ask a question and they told me not only do
they not support machines running linus (even though the question had
nothing to do with anything but their hardware) and they don't support
their switches for file and print sharing.

I'm not sure why they're selling them, but I went out and got a Netgear
to replace it.

ciao!
