Hi Bryce, I read/installed Bonjour. I believe it's complicated to use/install. For the task I'm trying to accomplish, finding any Astlinux box on the LAN and connect to it, I believe using the udp server approach might be "easier" to implement. Should Astlinux-devel have Bonjour? Any brave list-user to create the package? Let's see what Kris and other users have to say... Thanks. Alejo.
