OS X as Client, and Debian as backbone?

[Bengt Thurée <bengt@zag.att.ne.jp>]

Hej,

I have heard some rumours that this combination (using Macintosh OS X as
clients and Linux as a backbone (fileserver)) do not work perfectly.

I have tried to search for information on Google, as well as
in other places, but so far not come up with anything concrete.

I am very interested in getting rid of using Windows XP as clients, and
using OS X instead. Ok, another so called monopoly, but atleast stability,
"unix", and nice design.

Do anyone have any comments on this combination, or where can I 
find more information?
What will work, and what will not work?
What problems can I anticipate?

Thanks in advance
