Two short answers. This group is fairly chatty, so if you have a good
init script it might not make it in this time but shared expertise is
seldom wasted.
As to MySQL, I asked about that some time ago and the comment was
something about licensing. The other problem for me is that I use php,
so if I upgrade mysql I have to redo or build my own php config as well.
It's certainly doable but I have other things to keep me busy and not
enough brain cells to share.
ciao!
