RE: Make a linux Switch
Ah ha! Looks like it might be possible. Acording to a howto, bridging is
like switching and linux can bridge. Is bridging really like switching
though? I didn't think it was myself. COuld be wrong ...

Dont think that's possible with current software, you can route the
networks with linux, but you cant turn the linux box into a "switch"
AFAIK, it might be possible, but not that i know of.
