Finally I have an erroneous /etc/hosts file.

But aside from that what of the realeses is best suited for a CentOS 4.4
Double Pentium III 1.0 Ghz?

*       Linux (x86, glibc-2.2, "standard" is static, gcc): 
           mysql-standard-5.0.24a-linux-i686.tar.gz
*       Linux (x86):   mysql-standard-5.0.24a-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz

The first is compiled statically with glibc-2.2 and the second is compiled
dinamically against glibc-2.3. CentOS 4.4 uses glibc-2.3. Then which is the
best suited?

For update is more easier using rpm relases but If I want to downgrade to
the previous version I only have to change the symbolic link mysql in
/usr/local/mysql to the directory of the previous version if I use binary
instead of rpm releases. That works because I use another director for data
thant /usr/local/mysql/data. Could I do these with rpm?

If you read that page:

You can deal with this by executing mysql_install_db --force, which does 
not execute the resolveip test in mysql_install_db. The downside is that 
you cannot use hostnames in the grant tables: except for localhost, you 
must use IP numbers instead. If you are using an old version of MySQL 
that does not support --force, you must manually remove the resolveip 
test in mysql_install using a text editor.

Basically your DNS is stuffed and mysql can't look up hostnames.


Why aren't you using the rpms? They are much easier to deal with when it 
comes time to upgrade.
