On the contrary - in the last 6-8 months they've *greatly* improved. Last year I would have said steer clear, but they've been making a lot of changes that have made a visible difference, IMO. As for the project name, I hightly doubt the other IPFilter is doing to want to give it up, but you can easily use "ipf" which is just as recognizable, and since I assume you'll be linking to the SF page from the IPF's homepage, it's not a huge deal either way. On a more general note, I think moving to a more transparent system with anonymous RO CVS/SVN access, bug tracking and a patch-management system is really a positive move even if you pick one of the SF clones instead of SF. -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freeware and Technical Pages Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
