If you follow the steps on this site you install netatalk from the Ubuntu binary archives and not from source! So make sure you use uams_dhx2.so (as mentioned below) as auth module in order to encrypt your password.
sudo aptitude install netatalk
# Edit the configuration files:
sudo vim /etc/default/netatalk
sudo vim /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf
sudo vim /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default
# Restart netatalk:
sudo /etc/init.d/netatalk restart
# Allow network access to the ports 548 and 427
sudo ufw allow 548
sudo ufw allow 427
sudo ufw disable && sudo ufw enable
changes to the configuration:
- In
/etc/default/netatalksetCNID_METAD_RUN=yes(default in Maverick 10.10)

Update 2011-12-20: As there is no update of iRedLite for OS X 10.7 Lion so far. You can still use it but the bindings for Preview.app are broken. A workaround is to set the buttons to actions such as Current App → Cursors Movement → Right to go one slide forward in fullscreen mode.
- iRedLite http://www.filewell.com/iRedLite/
This program works well, you can configure a load of possible actions depending on the currently open application.

To set up incoming NAT connections to an ssh server in the guest, use the following command:
VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,2222,,22"
With the above example, all TCP traffic arriving on port 2222 on any host interface will be forwarded to port 22 in the guest. The protocol name tcp is a mandatory attribute defining which protocol should be used for forwarding (udp could also be used). The name guestssh is purely descriptive and will be auto-generated if omitted. The number after –natpf denotes the network card, like in other parts of VBoxManage.

Mac OS X TimeMachine is a great system to simplify backup and recovery on the desktop. But it failes if you have to backup your data after each change and not just every hour. So what you need sometimes is a triggered backup: have a look at c’t TriggerBackup. With TriggerBackup a file will be backed up as soon as you changed it. It has been programmed by Andreas Beier for the German c’t computer magazine.

To convert the file input.flac (saved using the FLAC) to the file output.m4a (ALAC format) you can use this Terminal command:
ffmpeg -i "input.flac" -acodec alac "output.m4a" -map_meta_data input.flac:output.m4a
This needs the ffmpegX distribution for Mac OS X, which seems, however, to be quite old. Better run this on a Linux computer with a newer ffmpeg version..
