Also, Appleshare and Quantum Snap servers are great, but I have found the Cobalt Qube has the most bang for the buck. No software necessary. As far as NFS - DONT DO IT, It's expensive, and any hardcore mac user will hate you. Novell is way behind the times. Just My oppinion.
While I spend my time building custom configured Mac Servers or Linux machines so Samba can be used, but the best solution in my opinion is the Cobalt Qube 3. At around $1200 for the base model and $2000 for the pro unit. This box took me only ten minutes to set up, and the volumes appeared on Mac and PC instantly. The beauty is you can also administrate a website as well as everyday file sharing. A print server it is not, but it does do practically everything else. The dual ethernet ports allow you to create a VPN while configuring over 100 users to shared internet resources via it's built in administration and firewall features. Want to know more, feel free to ask?
Best Regards,
