OT, but how do you find this behaves, please?

I'd like to do the same myself at some point, but wasn't sure if it  
was possible to put one's ~Music/iTunes on a network drive.

Which AFP server are you using on Linux, please? I tried this on an  
old server which I had loads of problems with, and the AFP server  
stopped playing one day, for reasons which I never figured out. I've  
since scrapped that machine, but IIRC development on the longstanding  
afpd was not terribly active, and some work on an FUSE-AFP-NG looked  
like it _might_ be promising.

Ideally I'd like to have both my desktop Mac & my MacBook access the  
same network share for their itunes store directory, and have the  
MacBook do so via a VPN if happens to be roaming. I don't really know  
how realistic this is.

Stroller.
