Why did you move from OSX to Windows instead of Linux? That switch seems much easier.

We actually began with Linux. We moved to Mac because:

Samba has serious problems with large filesystems due to the disconnect between case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems. It incurs massive overhead when you have thousands of files in a folder.

Netatalk has serious problems with large filesystems due to the inefficiency of its CNID database. Perhaps they finally solved this, but we have moved on and aren't going back.
