Windows has always been more graphical. For Linux, depending on the version that you have downloaded (binary v. source) you have to do very little to configure it for a dedicated server. Check out the my.cnf files in the /support-files/ folder of your MySQL installation. Use these as a guideline. The more RAM you have or the more dedicated you want the server, the different my.cnf files that you want to copy to /etc/my.cnf
For Small Servers (256 - 512 RAM) or "Development", use: shell> cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-small.cnf /etc/my.cnf For Medium Servers (512 - 1GB RAM) or "Server", use: shell> cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf For Large Servers (1GB - 2GB RAM) or "Dedicated", use: shell> cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-large.cnf /etc/my.cnf For Extra Large Servers ( 2GB< RAM ) running only MySQL, use: shell> cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-huge.cnf /etc/my.cnf Each of these can be found in the my-(small, medium, large, huge).cnf files. They are commented out sections. There is nothing new that you need to download. Also, make sure you read the manual and installation instructions. All of this information and more is located in there.

It was amazing that everything can be configured in a visual way and it is almost ready to use after installation when install it on Windows XP and I could even change the way thatI want to use MySQL server if it is Developing, Sever or Dedicated Server. But when I installed MySQL Server 4.1.7 on my Linux system, I couldn't configure it as Windows XP. It just installed and there was not any configuration window or anything elase. How can I configure my Linux server for example to act as Dedicated server ? Is there any extra program for Linux so I have to download ?
