I recall a couple of recent arguments, so I'm wondering if someone could
summarize the discussion on gigabit switches for HPC/clusters.
1. If memory serves, NetGear wasn't a great choice?
2. HP Procurve got some good reviews.
I've been asked for an opinion by some folks building a small, dedicated
cluster. I'd told them of my misgivings on NetGear, and now I've gotta give
a recommendation.
I am asking for the collective wisdom. That said, I'll comment that I've
been happy with out Procurve 5012zl but it's a bit larger than they need or
would grow into.
The Linksys 48 port managed switches seem to be very unreliable. I
recommend avoiding them.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
