Interesting? I'm running *a version* of OSX that mounts the netatalk
server in our offices, and at home fine.
I go to the 'Go' menu, enter the IP of the Server, enter the
username/password, and it mounts on my desktop.
I have been able to open, save, copy Quark/Photoshop/Filemaker files,
play MP3s directly off it without issue. I must admit, I haven't
given it the full-blown test that it needs, but on the surface, it
works. (Apart from the having to enter IP bit). Based on my
experience, wait until you get a later version than the public beta
;-> OSX does get better, trust me!
I'll give it a full test tonight and report back any weirdo behaviour later on.
