Subject: [netatalk-admins] does netatalk handle filelocking? (and vs. Windows NT)

I'm trying to pitch to my employers that linnux/netatalk is the
way to go for solving our windows/mac filesharing problems.
I've gotten netatalk up and running without too much trouble and
I've got a meeting set to discuss using linux as the server
operating system versus using Windows NT.
Two questions I have:
1) Does netatalk support any sort of file locking mechanisms?
using the mac server that we now use locking seems to happen
but under my installation of netatalk on a temporary machine
file locking doesn't seem to happen.
2) Can everyone give me some good reasons why we should use
linux as the operating system of choice instead of
Windows NT? I have one supervisor who is not real keen on
using linux because NT is a well-known commercial product.
(I say "big deal"...)
any how any answer to these questions or any other topics that
might be of interest to note about using netatalk/samba and linux
together would be greatly appreciated.
