FreeBSD is another alternative - and seems to have good drivers
for 3COM cards. Some say that as a file server it is a tad better
than linux. (Am not trying to provoke a flame - I have seen both
work well . .!)
Netatalk on FreeBSD - at least the file sharing stuff - works fine
for me - although I haven't got as far as print serving simply
because I have no need.
