Take a look at this list. These folks are putting a commodity Linux environment
with binary drivers to merchant silicon switches. Right now they support
Accton, Agema, Penguin Computing and Quanta.

Even without the linux distro these switches are probably cheap and usable with
their default OS.
Hey NANOG, it's good to be back and has been quite a while since I lurked on
