Thanks; at least for netatalk, you can print to Appletalk printers, you
can set up a print spooler for Macs, and Macs can mount shared space as
"disks" on the desktop. The one thing I haven't figured out how to do
is to share files in the reverse direction, that is, mount a shared Mac
disk in the Linux tree. These things matter a little more when you're
surrounded by Macs, as far as you can see, in all directions :-)
