Hi,
Just went through this myself with my 475. If you do a "custom" install of 7.5.3, you will be able to install Open Transport (1.1.1 I believe) as part of the OS install - if you do an "easy" install, you just get classic networking. Make sure you also install the Network Selector application, as from memory after the install you are still running in "Classic" networking mode and need to switch to Open Transport (via the Network Switcher application).
This should give you TCPIP and Appletalk. I personally then upgraded to system 7.5.5 and then upgraded to Open Transport to 1.1.2 - but worst case if you only have the 7.5.3 install media, you should be sweet to at least get connectivity.
As previously mentioned, Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) is the way to go for your Linux box. I too installed this recently as part of my LC475 mission. I personally use OpenSUSE 10.3, and on this platform, Netatalk is available for installation via YAST (the built in management application). If your distribution doesn't include it, you should be able to download the RPM to install.
Good Luck!
Cheers,
