You think? It would probably be good to make sure =) Pehaps downloading the
latest binary compile of NetAtalk and installing it would ensure that you have
it running =) You'll need to reboot, though, since NetAtalk can only start
during system boot.
Once you have this running, most (if not all) contributed RPM's I've
downloaded have built-in configuration so that at least *something* will show
up in the Chooser, and you can at least mount your home directory.
Something to keep in mind, AppleTalk will not start or bind to the Ethernet
port unless it gets a response from some other AppleTalk member on the
network. For example, starting up not connected to a network will turn
AppleTalk off, or it will at least revert to the printer port. Same thing if
you turn the machine on while connected to a network with no AppleTalk
members. So, if you Linux machine is on and AppleTalk is up, *then* you
startup the Macintosh, it should receive a response from the AppleTalk "ping"
it sends out and will be happy.

Are you sure you...
1. Have each machine set up with a unique IP Address (either real or through
Masq.)?
2. Have TCP/IP bound to the Ethernet port via the TCP/IP control panel?
Beyond this, AppleTalk and TCP/IP are completely separated in Open Transport,
so a problem with one won't affect the other (assuming that problem isn't a
faulty NIC or something).
