CAP and Netatalk provide, basically, the same services. Both wil allow you
to share files and printers to Macintosh computers from some kind of un*x
like OS. My understanding is that netatalk does the actual packet handling
at the kernel level and therefore can show better performance speedwise. I
love it and use it to provide file service to the Macs in the CS dept.
here. Your mileage may vary. You can get the latest netatalk distribution
from:
