I have some experience with MySQL on MacOS X but that was with a pretty GUI installer.
I am now trying to get MySQL installed on Redhat 7.0. I download the client and server versions and followed the install procedures. The problem I am having is with mysqladmin. The docs state that you need to set the root password with 'mysqladmin -u root -p password'. I enter this command, I am then prompted for the new password and then I get a 'could not connect to local host' error. I think I am missing something here. To make matters worse my Linux experience is pretty limited as well.
