Re: [PLUG] Mac client, Linux server(s)



	We have mac, linux and windows boxes in our home and both NFS 
and samba work fine for centralized file systems. I believe Mac OS X 
supports all the  usual culprits for tcp/ip printing; its native printing 
subsystem is cups so you could always enable that.  Actually, I forget if 
printing works via samba, I do  know on the server side macos X's samba 
supports printing since it is, well,  samba :) I have a feeling it will 
work to be  honest.
