best NIC card for Win/Linux small network?

[daveleau]

I have recently decided to go back and try Linux again and was happy to find that my $19.99 10/100NIC by Netgear is supported in Linux and most other OSes. It is not a "Win-NIC". Good deal! FA310TX model...

Hi c0r3file

This topic is best covered in the Networking forum - moved there.

I intend to network some Linux 6.2 boxes (old Dell 75mhz PC's) and a couple of Win98,95 machines. What's the most compatible 10/100 hub and network cards I can use for this?

I don't think the hub matters, but, I believe the cards will. I like 3com and Intel NICs. I think only one kind of 3com works with UNIX (not sure about LINUX). Intel would probably be the way to go.
