Will attempt the VMBox though, just to learn from the experience!

Thanks for your response Camroid.

Bear with me on this, but when you say, build 1.24.4 from source code, what exactly does that mean? I'm still learning & getting used to such lingo.

I have a brand new working ZM 1.24.2 installed on Ubuntu 11.04 and love it! I have these questions.....I have read and read but still don't understand... - How does one upgrade from 1.24.2 to 1.24.4 [when I type the following: sudo apt-get install zoneminder , it will install 1.24.2 and not .4 ...
