Ok, what I really need is a name annoucer. Now, if avahi is installed on my RPi machine called "server_pi" (that I would like to use as a server),
I'm not sure you can use _ in a hostname. Let's say "server-pi".
can I access it from any other machine connected to the local network by using "http://server_pi" in a web browser,
This would be "http://server-pi.local".
or do I need to have something installed on the client machine first (like Bonjour if it's a windows PC)? I'd rather not install anything on the "client" machine.
Well, for (most) Linux and Apples, it should work. For Windows without Bonjour, you can always tell them the IP (found with "ifconfig | grep -w inet") and make a proposal about installing Linux :).
