    Is there a $100-300 10/100 switch with VLANs?

    The new CEO Léo Apotheker that HP has is from SAP hence the push going for a towards the software and managed services end. But anyways :) As for which switch try and grab yourself a procurve 1810-G switch you should be able to get a 8port for around £70/80 and £130+ for the 24 port.

    Having some troubles with my NAS (Running OpenIndiana)

    How much memory do you have assigned to it? Anytime I have played around with ZFS/Openindiana/nexentastor community edition the biggest limitation on my transfers was 1: memory the more the better for ZFS ( 5GB+ ) 2: cache drive

    WHS 2011 trial

    If you have access to MSDN or technet grab a copy and try it out. Running at the moment, with drive bender can't really fault it so far, compared to the beta from last year. One thing that annoys me is the limitation on the backup sizes.
