Peter,

Good idea:

Probably because it's v easy -just install and go.  You can google the
mail list in which case you'll find a few references I think:

Good.  And then back it up daily/weekly because this repository is
important to you right?

You can use SSPI with Eclipse - it's a big complex - google the
newsgroup to find the gory details (or buy the eBook, which is always
appreciated).

We only keep a limited number of older releases, check the archive (but
you can just backup your old install, the upgrade wont change any of
your settings in the registry):
