>>I'm wondering how old is that version. The Windows version was tame six years ago. They looked like "we give the player for free because we're making money on servers", and there was no hint as to what it would become later. Just like free mail on Yahoo - they never said they'll charge you for anything except the extras; all of a sudden there's a charge for POP3 access, which was free before.

Real Microsoft :)... "Word 6 came immediately after Word 2 because...". I meant "old" as in "how many years on Linux", just to see if there's still a number of years left before they start behaving.

I already do - it's on the other box, though rarely in use because that box serves as the gateway for the DSL connection, and we had trouble with network card drivers (i.e. it sees the web but doesn't see my box, or doesn't see the on-board NIC at all). If not for that trouble, I would have tried MySql long ago.
