Hi. I am setting up a Yahoo/SBC DSL Internet connection and it is on a 6 User network. Would it be recommended just to stick with a hub, or would you use a switch or router. Just looking for opinions.

I suggest |-------> Internal Node | INTERNET<====>DSL ROUTER<========> SuSE Firewall (NAT)<======EXISTING HUB -----> Internal Node Or Spring $80 and by a linkysys router that way you dont have to mess with getting PPPoE working on linux. Also those Firewall in abox applications seem a little less suseptable to worm attacks.
