  1. Helios on Samba And Netatalk - Is There A Better Solution? · · Score: 2

    For a commercial implementation that really pays back I would recommend Helios EtherShare and PCshare. It runs very fast on Linux and can also handle huge files for transfers. It's one of the fastest or the fastest available solutions and very widely used in the graphics arts industry.

    OK, the price tag is pretty high, but if it is for commercial duties where it pays back it's certainly worth checking out.

    There's a very good article written by Jeff Wall on the subj of file sharing in connection with Macs. He compares different server side software on different architectures, including Linux, Winducks, Solaris, MacOS, and I believe AIX, Irix, and *BSD as well. Search the web for the article and decide which might be best for you.

    For high duty Helios is great (just compare the numbers!), for average duty you will be probably best off using some open source stuff.
