OFF TOPIC - LINUX NETWORKING

[Gregory Nowak]

Why?
I have 4 machines here, and they all go over the same cross over cable
which gets switched from machine to machine as it's needed.
Two of the boxes run slackware, and they connect
with themselves as well as their windows
counterparts just fine.
Besides, if the windows boxes connect to the linux boxes just
fine over the cross over cable,
then I really don't see how a hub would help.
