Linux (RedHat) + samba + netalk+asun = low-cost cross platform file server

Throw in Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/webmin. It takes a lot of the
pain out of Linux configuration. It's web-based, so you'll need
apache too. I haven't seen any config modules for netatalk yet
though. I am, however, just starting to play around with all of
this. I have it all running and that's about it! I can connect to
my box from Windows, AppleShare, or ASIP. And all the software was
free!
