I have decided to go with MySQL. I ran the command yum mysql install It ran, took care of dependencies, and now is sitting on the box with version 3.23. Which is fine, I don't mind that its not 4 at this time. I thought there was some hubub about version 4 and fedora at this time anyhow. However now I have to research how to get it all started up. Theres obviously setup that needs to be done because ran I ran the command Mysql ..and I got ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Actually when I looked, there isnt even a /var/lib/mysql/ directory. I'll go and google some version 3 docs now, see what I find...
