Thank you nick, being beginner is a good thing and highly appreciated.
One question though; i just want to upgrade mysql and thanks for letting
me know how; but i want to upgrade to a stable released version because
i want to run a critical public application on the linux box. ive been
using mysql with windows 2003 and its starting to crack up because of
the growing number of connections ... and records.
So how would i get the stable version of mysql on by debian? baby steps
would be appreciated again :)

Congrats on getting Debian working.
To get the latest software for Debian, you will need to set your sources
to Unstable. Don't be fooled by the name, the software is 90% stable,
and 99% current. Once you do that, do your apt-get update, and then
apt-get dist-upgrade. This will update your entire OS to the latest
software. If you are just looking to upgrade mysql, then do the apt-get
-t unstable mysql-server.
If you are familiar with Debian, I apologize for being so... Beginner.

hello all
i installed debian linux netinst which installed well; and proceeded to
install mysql with the command below
apt-get install mysql-server
that also went well, i proceeded to configure etc etc
when i logged in from a client i noticed that the mysql server version
is 4! is there a way i can get an apt source with the latest mysql
server? if not can someone outline step by step instructions on how to
install the latest mysql on debian?
my version of debian is debian-31r3-i386-netinst (sarge)
thanks.
