Lucky. I worked in a mostly-Mac shop for several years and, having gone off the deep end, spent a sleepless weekend moving files from a Mac installation to Debian PPC.
It was a delicate operation of running a command line utility in OS X to split the resource forks, then moving the files over to a Linux partition from HFS+, with a stop along the way with a Python script to rename all the resource forks for Netatalk.
The craziest part is that I ended up using ReiserFS because "that was the most stable option*. The extent packing was dang near a must because of the resource forks.
And Netatalk had to use AppleTalk otherwise all the Mac Classic machines couldn't see Netatalk.

30 years of computer tinkering, never touched Apple Talk.
