What? HD videos you've taped using your HD camcorder? Nothing illegal about that my friend.

Why, what were you thinking ok?

Also on the same vein, is there a big difference between using gigabit switches and the 10/100 switches?

Personally I'd stick with Windows for ease of setup unless you really want to play around with Linux but like other have said Ubuntu is very easy to use.

Switches it really depends on what you are planning on doing. If it's just streaming video then 100mbit is fine but gigabit really comes into it's own when you are copying. I have 3 of these sitting in my server room full of 1TB disks and frequently want to copy 20GB of cough data to my laptop before I go away for work. With a 100mbit connection I would be lucky to get 6-7mb/sec but on 1000mbit connection I usually max out my HDD at 34-35mb/sec
