Avahi.

A bit of a cop out, as it is a clone of Bonjour (part of OS X & some
features available on Windows). And its more the technology that kick
ass, not the app (I may volunteer a talk on the subject one day).

This thread could be quite tricky, as most Linux apps would be
available for *nix/*BSD....Food for thought?
