I just remembered, the only bad thing I can think of about MySQL... their website locks up Netscape =) I recently installed MySQL4 dev on one of the Win2k computers and it seems to work well...I havent stress-tested it much, or do anything complex with it (I'm still a beginner anyways), but I invite anyone else to try =) 65.7.204.217 - root/no password - the computer nor MySQL gets used for anything else, so go nuts with it! I'm kinda curious anyways to see what people do to/with it. oh yeah, phpmyadmin is on there at http://65.7.204.217:81/sql/ =)
