[olug] New MS software switch built using Linux.

[Aric Aasgaard]

What hardware are you guys using for these Linux switches?

Now that and I have 10 GbE SFP+ and or 40 GbE  QSFP cards in all my home
stuff I need to find a reasonably priced switch.
Here is the official compatibility list.

This is the least expensive one I could find.

I don't really want to spend more than $1000 on a switch that I am basically
using as an educational toy.

Their software stack is built on top of a new Linux distro they made. But is
their software switch truly open source?
