HFS+, Netatalk, avahi daemon: make an RPi and external disks show up in Mac's finder

HFS+ is one of the filesystems used by Mac and is compatible with the Linux filesystem.

Step 1: These packages should be installed if you want to connect external hard disks that can be read by both systems.

• install these packages first

sudo apt-get install hfsplus

sudo apt-get install hfsprogs

sudo apt-get install hfsutils 

Step 2: now continue over to a well explained guide on this guy's site (note: at the time of writing, this version 3.07 is the latest stable one, so adapt the file name when you execute the wget command). This guide will help you install Netatalk and Avahi Daemon.
