I would totally agree with this. I moved from using Fedora Core 3 to SuSE 9.3 and haven't looked back. YaST is one of the best tools out there. With the stuff you have installed it would be best just to start over with a new install. :)

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. -- George Law ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Burrows" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "MYSQL General List" <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 8:01 PM 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.
