netatalk on Ubuntu

Good guide on how to get netatalk (AFTP) working on Ubuntu:

Very annoying that netatalk is still broken by default. Anytime I do an apt-get upgrade it stops working and I have to remember how I fixed it. Since I don't really have any Windows machines I don't see much reason in using SMB. The Samba team has done an amazing job but they cant change the fact that SMB/CFIS is just an ugly/slow protocol. I see an extra 10MB/sec using AFTP on the same hardware/network.
