We abandoned Linux for Mac, because Samba was horrendously slow when running on a large case-sensitive filesystem; because netatalk (we MUST have AFP at our company, given our industry) is horrendously slow an large filesystems of any type due to the CNID database it maintains, and it doesn't support spotlight searching from Finder clients (evidently there is now alpha support - too little too late); and because Linux does not integrate with a large network of Macs nearly so well as a proper OpenDirectory installation. AND because we are running Mac-based workflow automation software for which there is no equivalent in Linux. For example, it drives Adobe Creative Suite in an automated fashion, as well as other print-industry specific tools.
