no... the other apps will still "see" the libs installed under /usr/lib & /usr/lib/mysql Given a binary release: You unpack the tarball under /usr/local and then make asoft link from /usr/local/mysql-x.y.z ==> /usr/local/mysql To use your new distribution you may want to edit its configuration file to listen on a different port, for example 3308, and a different socket. You may also wish to create a script, /usr/local/bin/mysql-x.y.z, that sets environment variables like * PATH, * LD_LIBRARY_PATH * MANPATH to pick up your new application. How stable is 5.0.x? Answer, " It is GA". The question to ask is "How stable are the new 5.0.x features?" Short answer, "OK". Prudent answer, "check them out". If you are not using any of the new 5.0 features, the 5.0 release should be as stable as the 4.x.y releases, which are also available as compiled binaries for PPC from the MySQL website . -Joseph
