If you consider using Unix to integrate Macs and PCs, I would like to
recommand to take a look at Linux + netatalk + samba (both the latter are
avaiable for other Unixes too, but this is a combination I know to work).
The administration is not easy and that is ofcourse the biggist
disadvantage, but you get good performance, almost any kind of printer
access for Macs and PCs, the software for free and the hardware for much
less than Apple´s and all the standard Unix TCP/IP stuff as well.
