Beagle depends on Mono, and I believe Sun still has no plans to integrate Mono on Solaris. > * Where does it store the, potentially highly sensitive, information ? I believe MetaTracker allows the user to configure what directories will be searched, so users can specify that sensitive information in certain file locations not be tracked. However, I don't think it uses any heuristics to avoid tracking sensitive information. It would be interesting to find out if MetaTracker does anything special to avoid tracking known files that contain sensitive information. It would probably be bad, for example, if it put your .Xauthority cookie or gnome-keyring data files into a database. Brian
