I've put together a small Linux file server for my classic Mac network and can now connect to it over both Ethernet and LocalTalk (via an Asante bridge) with anything from a Mac Plus running 6.0.8 to my iMac running 10.7.
What I'm wondering is, what is the most convenient way to store software on a file server like this?
Some of the stuff I have is in StuffIt 5 format and takes forever to unstuff. Maybe just binhex everything?
The server has everything stored on an ext3 file system. Am I paranoid to worry about losing resource forks on a non-hfs file system or is the netatalk implantation really rock solid enough to not worry about it?
