Incidentally, where are you reading "System Requirements"? (I couldn't find such a page anywhere). > No big deal to me.

Perhaps I should leave this question to someone at Slim Devices that knows better, but ... Historically, MySQL was not "officially" supported. Slimserver 6.5 *will* support MySQL, and will ship with v5.0.18 on certain platforms. However, I don't know if Slim Devices will "officially" support the use of an external MySQL database instance on supported or other platforms.
