My sugesstion is that you get yourself a decent old workstation, one that you would
probably consider ready
for retirement if it were to still be running MS something...Like say a p200ish
machine with a couple of
gig on the disk and say 32 but prefereably 64M of ram. Slap a cheap NIC, like the
SMC1211tx, in it and get
that thing up on the net. Now get fBSD loaded on it and install MySql from the ports.
If you don't have a
good inet connection then shell out the $30 dollars for the fBSD CD set, then you can
have everything up
and running in less than 3 hours, seriously.
Now you are ready to give it a test drive and providing you've used old gear, I'd
estimate you've spent a
grand total of $50. You can now give pretty much all of the free DB's a try and decide
for yourself. of
course if you've a good inet connection you can download everything for free and
you've spent a whaping $0.
Cheers,
Mikel
