+Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast 
+DNS specifications for Zeroconf Computing. It uses D-BUS for 
+communication between user applications and a system daemon. The 
+daemon is used to coordinate application efforts in caching replies,
+necessary to minimize the traffic imposed on networks. This kind of
+technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous
+Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient.
+
+Requires libdaemon, which is also available at SlackBuilds.org.
+
+You will need to have an "avahi" user and group on the target system
+prior to installing the avahi package.  See README.SBo in this 
+directory (it is also installed to the package docmentation directory)
+for more information and for setup notes.
