Avahi scope?

New to Linux and putting up a no doze Linux & Mac LAN
...................................................................
I've installed netatalk on my Linux box, and now can access and move
files into and out of a shared directory on the Linux box from my Mac.
In order to discover the Mac and a printer on the Mac from the Linux
box, I found instructions that included installing mdnsresponder and
howl-tools on the Linux box.
The Debian packages included mdnsresponder but not howl-tools which I
understand isn't being maintained anymore. As I'm sure you already
know, I instead found Avahi on Debian and that's not the 0.6.3 version.
So in reading through the material for Avahi I see an item in the FAQ
about not running multiple mDNS responders.
I'm not exactly sure, but it seems to me that if I use Avahi I should
not also use mdnsresponder - i.e. that Avahi replaces the combination of
mdnsresponder and howl-tools. Is this layman interpretation correct?
If so, I guess my next step is to figure out just what I need of Avahi
and try to build and install the latest 0.6.3 version, rather than the
Debian 0.6.1 version that might have a problem?
Thank you,
Lee C
