Netatalk is an OpenSource software package, that can be used to turn an
|
|
inexpensive *NIX machine into an extremely high-performance and reliable
|
|
file server for Macintosh computers.
|
|
|
|
Using Netatalk's AFP 3.2 compliant file-server leads to significantly higher
|
|
transmission speeds compared with Macs accessing a server via SaMBa/NFS
|
|
while providing clients with the best possible user experience (full support
|
|
for Macintosh metadata, flawlessly supporting mixed environments of classic
|
|
MacOS and MacOS X clients)
|
|
|
|
Due to Netatalk speaking AppleTalk, the print-server task can provide
|
|
printing clients with full AppleTalk support as well as the server itself
|
|
with printing capabilities for AppleTalk-only printers. Starting with
|
|
version 2.0, Netatalk seamlessly interacts with CUPS on the server.
|
|
|
|
After all, Netatalk can be used to act as an AppleTalk router, providing
|
|
both segmentation and zone names in Macintosh networks.
