Linux and Mac OS X are now playing nicely

After spending 2 hours of building and configuring Netatalk and Avahi on my Linux box, my wife's MacBook finally managed to browse the files on the Linux machine. All thanks to the guide on sharing directory using AFP at Gentoo-Wiki.

Making Linux and Mac OS X becomes good buddies

Last Friday I helped my wife to get her a MacBook. All the basic setup such as basic networking went pretty well. The hardware performed quite impressively - the only potential problem I foresee to pose a problem would be the heat.

Next would be attempting file sharing with Linux since my wife used and stored my Linux machine before MacBook came. I saw a potential product call Netatalk which look like a good candidate to do just that. May be later tonight or tomorrow night I'll attempt to build Netatalk and play around with it.
