It is possible to use SMB (samba on linux) to connect to the server. 
When I was testing Apple was saying that they were moving away from 
appletalk on OS X.
To use SMB you have to have samba on the linux box.  On the client you 
press 'Apple-K' (now you get the screen to connect to a server).  Here 
you give 'smb://<servername>/<share>' and press enter.  This should be 
OK now.
