Andrew,
I used to be a big redhat fan - but if you are looking to totally bring
everything up to date, I would suggested opensuse.
having used redhat for years, Suse's not a big step - everything is still
RPM based, however, Suse's admin tool, YaST, kicks butt :)
Suse 10 comes with Apache 2, PHP5, and one of the latest 4.X versions of
mysql.
There are generic RPMs for mysql 5 on mysql's website - but I haven't used
them - I am running 5.0.18, but using the binary distro because I needed to
run both 4.x and 5.x at the same time to migrate some data.

Subject: General Questions regarding mysql and php
Hi MYSQL users,
Just started playing with mysql apache php and other tricky stuff and have a
few question to get me going after many years.
Was wondering what the best GUI based administration tool is used today, I
lasted used phpMyAdmin, is this still used or are there better applications
available?
Looking for some basic documentation on MYSQL could someone recommend
something online or maybe a book??
I have an old system that will probably need upgrading.
Apache 1.3
Mysql 3.22.32
Tomcat 3.1.1
Red Hat 8
Would you recommend upgrading this system or starting from scratch?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew
