    Getting my Raspberry Pi set up

Getting on the network

Before the rest of this gist is useful, you've got to get your Raspberry Pi on the network. I followed the information from the Adafruint Learning System Raspberry Pi tutorials, which can be found at http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup.
Couple of additional network setup notes

The two files that are most important are

/etc/network/interfaces (for network interface config)
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (for WiFi config)

Turning on Bonjour

http://gettingstartedwithraspberrypi.tumblr.com/post/24398167109/file-sharing-with-afp-and-auto-discovery-with-bonjour


First run “sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon”.


Next, make sure it runs at startup, enter “sudo update-rc.d avahi-daemon defaults”.


Create a configuration file containing information about the server. Run “sudo nano /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service”*


Enter (or copy/paste) the following:
  <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
  <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
  <service-group>
      <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
      <service>
          <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
          <port>548</port>
      </service>
  </service-group>


Press ctrl and x to exit, then press y to to save changes and return after confirming the location.


Restart Avahi: “sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart”
