[Semi-OT] Help configuring a file server

Switches are os independant, they are just hardware, like hubs.  I have a 
gigabit ethernet switch from netlink and it is working like a charm.  It is 
an unmanaged switch and that will do just fine for what you have in mind.  I 
picked mine up at ebay for 20€ IIRC, new price is about 70€

As for the cards, I have one broadcom netxtreme bcm5751 gigabit ethernet 
controller, drivers provided by kernel.

And, one Dlink gigabit ethernet controller DGE-528T which works very well as 
well, but you will need at least the kernel 2.6.11-1.14 before it is built 
in.  This one I bought for 15€ new somewhere in germany because for some 
reason they are still very hard to find in France, which is where I live.
