[geeks] What is a managed hub, and why would you want one?

A reseller I bumped into last night was offering managed Cisco "micro" 8 port 10/100hubs for $49 - seemed like a decent deal, but I'm not quite sure what the difference is?

Could someone please explain? How would these be better than, say, a Linksys 10/100 switch at a similar price-point (5 port switch $45 +/-)?

Thanks,

Ken
