Fellow travelers, I'm a MySQL debutant. I have no experience with it (other than not being able to get it to work on my Dell PowerEdge 1400 server running RedHat Linux 7.0). Is the RedHat Linux 7.0 distribution of MySQL a satisfactory or difficult one to use. Is it a good idea to buy a distribution from a concern like Abriasoft, in order to get a more useful or complete distribution of the software plus support. Does anyone have a recommendation? Also, can you recommend any books for a newcomer to MySQL?
