How To Make Ubuntu A Perfect Mac File Server And Time Machine Volume

A really great guide on how to set up a Mac File Server on a Ubuntu box.
Using this guide I was able to setup my Ubuntu box as a Time Machine backup volume for two MacBooks. They wirelessly backup every couple of hours automatically... once setup, the backup process is effortless. Of course, I also use the Ubuntu box to serve media files as well.

Update (Nov 1, 09):
The default netatalk package for ubuntu now plays nice with OSX, so there's no need to compile your own version anymore.
