A little something I leared about today.  Bonjour (formerly rendezvous) 
from Apple.

"Rendezvous is essentially multicast DNS for network services discovery, 
based on the ZeroConf initiative."

It is built into OS X and Apple provide a Windows version.  I then 
started to look for a Linux version and it turns out that Fedore Core 4 
has it built in too under the name Rendezvous.

The tutorial I used for setting up on Fedora 4 is:
