Hi folks. I've got MySQL running on a W2K dev box and want to run it on a production Linux box. Being new to Linux, I'm wondering what's the difference between the version of MySQL that ships with a Linux distro and downloading it from the MySQL website. By way of example: The SuSE website states that 9.1 Professional 64bit (will be running on an Opteron box) will ship with MySQL 4.0.18. They list the file path on DVD as "/suse/x86_64/mysql-4.0.18-25.x86_64.rpm": it's 17.64MB in size. The MySQL website lists the file as "MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.x86_64.rpm": it's 9.6MB in size. What's the difference between them? Should I use the SuSE version or download from the MySQL site? Does MySQL (the company) supply the RPMs to RH, SuSE, etc to include in their distros or do the distro companies build the RPMs themselves?
