    Apple disagrees with you; Apache is installed by default and I have it
    on my Powerbook.

    I've been playing a little with mDNSResponder and Howl. Both have
    shocking documentation and obscure syntax:-(

    However, this line in /etc/howl/mDNSResponder.conf does tell my Mac
    where to find my pics:
    WagtailPictures _http._tcp local. 80 path=~summer/pictures

    I noticed that Mozilla on Linux picked up my Rendezvous/Bonjour printer,
    so this seems a good way to go.

    Those fields need some explanation, and the Howl docs lack it.
    First, the name as others will see it. If it has spaces,
    "Wagtail pictures"
    _http._tcp says it uses http TCP. Other possibilities include
    _ssh._tcp
    _ipp._tcp
    _afpovertcp._tcp

    Next is "local." - I think this value is required.

    Then the port number. Usually, but not necessarily, you will use the
    standard ports.

    After the port there are protocol-dependant values. Start at
    zeroconf.org, and you will want Apple's specs for Rendezvous-compatible
    printers if you want to do printers.

    I don't know what Linux software uses this info, but I expect a lot will
    soon. The standards are open, and with an mDNSResponder running servers
    can easily publish their services and clients seek their servers.

    then, sharing your pics will require you put them in an appropriate
    folder and configure a server (likely Apache) to publish them. Then,
    anyone on the LAN can find them.
