10.7 at work is the Server version?

What I could do is make a note in the 10.5 section (not in the Chart) that 7.6 with 3.8.3 will work with 10.5 Server. -shrugs- Not sure what that would do, as my OCD would kick in and I'd say "well what about 10.4 Server? 10.6 Server?" and so on.

Keep in mind, nearly every thing I talk about or discuss in procedure, I've done it myself just to make sure it works. (Most of the data from the Chart came from a healthy contribution of data from mcdermnd. I wouldn't have been able to do it myself without acquiring a few more machines, which would then be gathering dust). For example, I heard that afpfs-ng can mount AFP shares in Linux. Then I start to wonder: well, there's many kinds of AFP servers, starting with ASFS 2.0.1, then System 7. Can it mount those? (No.) How about Mac OS 7.6.1 with OT 1.3 and AS 3.8.3? (No.) Okay what about 9.2.2? (No.) OS X 10.2? (Yes, but it seemed to have trouble mounting the shares.) What about Windows 2K Server with SFM? (Same thing.)

I also heard about the pseudo-dialup network from this thread. Naturally, I had to try it out. For some reason 10.5 wouldn't work properly. No idea why. (I had tail -f /var/log/system.log running while I had it set up.) 10.4 worked fine. Ubuntu 10.04LTS did not. Ubuntu 9.10, after I fiddled around and put the connect-delay 5000 flag in, worked fine.

So it's imperative that we get it right, if we can, otherwise I'm inclined to only mention it in a passing reference, or not at all. I would ideally cover networking in a more expansive detail, covering SMB (Windows) and other stuff like SSH so it can be "the one, for all" -- but that would take too much time and there's plenty of adequate tutorials elsewhere.
