Yeah, I just found that, along with Debian packages. Very nice.

Cool, sounds good. I'm sticking to 9.3.2 for now though, but it's  
good to hear!

If you don't mind me asking, what's wrong with MySQL? How about LDAP?  
I do currently run PostgreSQL but I was hoping to move my control  
panel over to MySQL and LDAP, so those were currently my two  
favourite options. Of course I could go the BDB route, but I'd rather  
avoid that... It's more files to deal with.

Many thanks,
Chris
