I'm just looking at the Linksys blurb for their Cable/DSL Router and they
say it "completely eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or
switch", which sounds great, so I'm confused as to why you say it "plugs
into the hub"...?

Thanks also for the good point about the disk partitioning. Maybe back to
Plan A on that one.
