One of the few reliable solutions to broadcast a message over the network without concern about the operating system is either using a simple and stupid UDP package (however UDP broadcasts are blocked in many networks) or registering a MDNS service. Basically what you need is some Python code.
Another option that may work. Use some kind of instant messaging client that supports dbus on Linux. Create a script that sends a message to a person (or listening machine) using the dbus interface. On the clients use whatever IM client you want.
