So I realize I can set up Samba under Mandrake to share out a Linux partition to my Windoze machines, but how do I share a Linux partition to MacOS? As far as I've been able to determine, Samba won't work with Mac. My wife has a Mac, and I want to be able to share out a partition over the home network so she can browse an play the mp3 collection. Right now it is stored on an NTFS partition which is shared out under MS-UAM on 2000 server. This works great other than the fact that I don't want to run Windoze anything as a server OS in my network, I want Linux back. Any advice is appreciated.

If i remember correctly what your looking for is Netatalk. Google for it.

If you want to do things from the Mac side:

OS X now has this functionality built in (although I haven't personally tried it). Check this out (http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/documentation/howto/html/osxsmb.html).

Two other possibilities are Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html) from Thursby Software and Sharity (http://www.obdev.at/products/sharity/index.html) from Objective Development.
