These days the usual talk is about the economy. And it's a gloomy talk. Now, I cannot stop thinking that economy is mostly like the weather, as both are chaotic systems that make predictions an extremely difficult task. The main difference is that clouds don't read the met, while we actually do. So when the met says "a hard rain is gonna fall" us clouds may well end up believing it... Anyway, nothing is 100% nice or bad, not even a recession.

Hopefully as MySQL 5.1 moves to a final stable release things will get much simpler... in the meantime, that's what you are supposed to do. The versions used are explicitly stated, if you have any weird surprise by later version pls signal it here.Pls note that this instructions are for Debian only, maybe they work under other systems, but I haven't checked them and I do not plan to check them in the future.

Having installed Ubuntu we just put together a list of tips and tricks as well as links that can help. Of course this can never be exhaustive, but for many of us it can be also a start to search for other soltuions, ideas etc.

Please add to the book when you have suggestions and information that can be valuable to all of us.
