Hi Lamar,
i tried their free version today. at first it did look promising but as soon i was to perform actions on files with acl's on them the whole system came down hard and leaving my external HDD corrupted. after several hours i've decided to give up and go with ext4 but still thanks!
Sorry it didn't work out for you. Linus, for one, has a pretty poor opinion of HFS in general.....and I'm not thrilled with it myself, due to some issues I had with Tiger on a PowerMac G4 and heavily corrupted filesystems, journaled or not. And I have some of the 'rescue' tools like DiskWarrior, and I've still lost some data.
Hopefully your experience with ext4 will work out better.
Mac OS X does very well with SMB/CIFS shares, too, if AppleTalk doesn't work out for you. (I run Mac OS X here in a few areas, and even Tiger works well with a Samba server, but I haven't tried any ACL's with it).
