Hi all,
In fact, I've used both CAP and NetAtalk under Linux. CAP's file services,
both AppleTalk and AppleShare IP, work perfectly out-of-box, however I've
not gotten CAP's print services to work under Linux (though I have under
Solaris). NetAtalk is a good substitute. The .resource directory created
under CAP is directly analogous to NetAtalk's .AppleDouble directory, so you
can directly copy file systems over. However, you lose the Desktop
Database, since the implementations are different.
