I've used it on RedHat 7.* and RedHat 9, once with a client at a 
distance and once with my local Mac several years later. Since I 
haven't had experience with MS versions, I couldn't compare them, but 
Appletalk worked transparently for the Mac User when I set it up for 
him in 1991 or 1992 (OS 9 or early X).
Appletalk seems to be about as fast as any other distance (NFS) file 
sharing I've tried, quicker than ssh with a NetBSD Sparc. It's a bit 
of a fuss to set up on the Linux side, quite easy on the Mac under OS X.
