x86 file server

Hi there,

We have a number of Mac computers that need to be able to share files with
each other via a Fileserver.

Using smb on a Windows Server 2003 platform doesn't always cut it (this is
what has been implemented before I started) because of the lost resource
fork problems associated with files created on Macs.

If I install Darwin on an x86 server (it's all I have available to me) and
partition/format it using the HFS+ filesystem, will this overcome the
problems with resource forks?

Also if the resource forks are preserved with HFS+ on this x86 server,
will SMB or NFS interfere with the resource forks at all?

One other question:
If I use HFS+ on this x86 server, will the filesystem be journalled like
it can be on the Mac or not?  Do I get the option of making it journalled?

Any input appreciated.  :)
