High Speed Networking	by amish	2004-02-05 08:47:39
Straight ethernet...	by mcnutcase	2004-02-05 08:55:44
is 10BaseT. Generally, most hardware you can get that does it also does fast ethernet, 100BaseTX (10fold speed increase) either as normal or the equivalent dual-speed hardware is negligibly more expensive. Linux support; if 10BaseT works, so will 100BaseTX. Gigabit ethernet is another kettle of fish. No idea on Linux support, a lot more expensive and a lot trickier to fool with since it's based round optical fibre, rather than copper like ethernet and fast ethernet. Myrinet: I have no idea.
