...and then Elby Vaz said... % % ----------I´m brazilian. Sorry by my english---------------- I'm sure your English is better than my Portugese! % % hello! Hi! % % I installed % % mysql-4.0.9-gamma-win % % on my machine. % % What means "gamma" ? You don't know what it means and you installed it?? ;-) It refers to the Greek alphabet letters 'alpha', 'beta', and 'gamma'. A software product with 'alpha' is very immature and not at all ready for release (in the opinion of whoever matters, like the author). The next stage is 'beta', like "beta testing"; it means that things have come along and are just about done but there can still be some bugs. Finally you get to 'gamma', which means approximately "is really stable with no expected bugs and you can start using it now, though we'll probably do more development and add some features here and there" in the MySQL world as well as for much other software. I think that Microsoft starts selling their products at about the 'beta' stage, and 'gamma' is called "buy the next beta" ;-) % % Thanks, % Elby.
