I am sysadmin for a small multimedia company and run a linux fileserver which
servers the shared partitions via nfs to other Linux computers (only one so far),
via samba to Windows NT and Windows 95 PCs and via netatalk (1.4b2) to a
PowerMacintosh.
So far it has performed flawlessly, after overcoming initial problems with
the shadow password. It runs on Linux 2.0.33 on a Pentium 166 (no MMX),
a Adaptec AHA2940U and SMC Ultra 10MBps and SMC EtherPower PCI 100MBps.
It also serves as a printer server for a HP LaserJet 6MP, which is also used to
print directly from the Linux computer
The only problem I experience is that printing binary data from QuarkXpress and
Freehand does not work. Printing from Photoshop and printing documents from
Quark and Freehand that do not contain binary EPS is also ok (TIFF is fine, too).
The network setup is quite heterogeneous, One 10MBps ethernet (BNC) connecting
a PC (486, running Win95 and Linux), the server and, via a small HUB, the Mac;
and a 100MBps Net between the server and the NT Workstation, which is used
for Video digitizing and editing.
Every user can import his $HOME from the UNIX workstation and a shared partition
with the "sticky" bit set, so that everyone can write to it and create new files
but no-one can erase other user's files.
