I have a Debian Linux server, and I would like to install MySQL on there.
Potentially to use it in a Cluster configuration, but for now, just as a
"play thing".  However, I'm very "green" when it comes to Linux.  I can get
to a command prompt, and list files, but the extent of my Linux knowledge is
not much more than that.  I believe there is an old version of MySQL on
there already (4.1 or something).

1) How do I remove the old version?

man apt-get


2) How to I install and start the latest version?

man apt-get


3) As mentioned, eventually, I would like to use this machine in a cluster
configuration.  Is it possible to use different operating systems in a
cluster?  Here is basically what I would have:
1. On one network located away from where I am (different location
all-together), there would be a Windows Server 2003 Machine, and a Windows
2000 Server machine.
2. On my network, there would be located a Windows Server 2000 machine, and
a Debian Linux machine.


By "cluster" you mean share load between servers? I don't think you'll
get that done without paid software and a bit of research (AFAIK).
Plus you'll have to create some sort of consistency (replication?)
between the servers. Oh, combine high load services with M$ and NTFS
and you'll get problems (my personal experience, no flames intended).
