I've been curious about netatalk, but not curious enough to do any
research.   When you use netatalk on a *nix box, whether it be BSD or
Linux, do you create an HFS partition for the Appletalk volume, or do
you just store your Mac files on a plain ol' *nix partition?

Reason I ask:   Filenames.   You can't have all those wonderful extra
characters in *nix filenames, not like on the Mac.   So do you have to
give all of your Mac files *nix conforming filenames?

Presently, I'm just using FTP to move files from my Mac OS computers to
my *nix machines, but if netatalk isn't too much of a hassle, I might
consider that.
