Ave, I run MySQL 4.x on my Power Mac G5 with Mac OS X 10.3.8 with PHP5. I have been running Apache Web Server and my websites on this machine for almost 6 months now. And twice I have faced table corruption which I had to fix using REPAIR TABLE. Twice in 6 months isn't bad at all, yet, I wonder why.
