It certainly looks clear. I think I should take a look at that as soon as I can spare the time. It looks possibly more efficient, although I have no complaints about it whatsoever. Are there any big advantages in upgrading the version? Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

From what I gather from the relevant announcements, the use of BerkeleyDB instead of flat-file storage greatly improves the processing speed, and there seem to be a lot of worthwhile bugfixes as well. Some links: Announcement of the 0.20.0 release http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=319997 Announcement of the 0.20.1 release http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=325812 Upgrading seems rather straightforward; stop POPfile, backup its directory in its entirety, and unzip the new release over the old.
