I'm in the process of redoing my entire home network.
It's going to consist mostly of an Untangle router and HP ProCurve 1410-16G switch.
Due to the arrangement of my apartment, I've got about 5 devices on one side and 5 on the other.
Should I get some long Cat6 and run everything to the ProCurve? Or would it be ok to do one long run to a cheapass D Link Green switch and then connect everything on that side to it?
