If you're only going to be connecting 1 other computer, I'd probably forget the hub, and just use an ethernet crossover cable from your (new) 2nd NIC to his computer.

(Probably easier to buy a pre-made crossover cable, but if you're the type of person who likes to roll their own, pinout is

Do my own cables , only on life or death situations. I am terrible at it, I can start with a 20-foot cable and end up with a 6-foot patch cord, and dozens of wasted connectors.

I already have a small four port hub that I have.

I just have not used Lindows, so wasn't sure what it could do.

Thanks
