[Preston, Gabriel]

Yeah, it is a pain that Redhat seems to have abandoned MySQL and only offers
3.23 when MySQL itself is at a stable 4.0 version.  If you are secure in
your ability to maintain MySQL and handle updates on your own, I'd suggest
going with the latest stable version from MySQL.com, but if you are
dependent on RedHat support, stick with version 3.23 that Redhat offers.

The RedHat supplied one is a pretty old version though. I'd just get the
one from the mysql site. You won't get any support from RedHat though
since it's not a RedHat supplied rpm, but I don't think that's such a
big deal (maybe your situation is different). However, I'm not sure how
commited RedHat is toward MySQL anyway, since they seem to have a pretty
strong relationship with Oracle (unbreakable Linux) and their RedHat
Database (now seems to be discontinued) was PostgreSQL...
