I've started playing with it a bit. The major draw to me was the books
included (not only a MySQL reference, but one for Apache, PHP, some others
that are at home & I don't remember). They've got some example stuff as well,
don't know if it's on the download.
Plus, the installer is pretty good - runs in a web-browser, asks about your
system (Linux, Windows, OS/2, FreeBSD, etc), then figures out how to install
based on that. Runs on it's own web server, so you don't need one running.
Just point your browser at the index.html file, and click on the link there.
