I have had a Linux-NetAtalk server running for over a year in our graphics
production department. This department is a server intense bunch of people and
I consider it my least problematic server. I've not seen the chooser or Icon
problems you talked about but I have seen the alias problem. Being a
production house thought we seldom use aliases because we mostly move large
amounts of data on and off the server for processing. The only software
problem we have is with an archival/tape backup product called Retrospect.
Some times it gets confused and does not back up the server properly. I'm not
convinced that this a server based problem though.
