Post Installation for Mysql on Ubuntu

[Tim Johnson]

Hello:
I am preparing to install the latest mysql server on ubuntu - I think it will
be version 5+. It has been some time since I have done a setup and I would
appreciate updated instructions.

The ubuntu install via Adept Manager will ask for a root password.
Following that I know that I must add one or more user accounts.
I see some good info at 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/default-privileges.html

Any other good examples would be welcome.
Thanks
Tim
