Subject:Re: linux suitability -- mysql
View as plain text  
I'm running MySQL on OpenLinux 2.2 and it is of course quite stable.  I
had no problems installing it (from a binary RPM) and getting it up and
running.  It's quite fast (Thank you, developers!) on a 90MHz Pentium with
64 megs or ram and a SCSI disk.
