You are on the good way francesco, be patient.
As I understood linux is new for you.

To be able to connect to the service of mysql the server had to be started.
That is not done yet.
Rob and Benoit are using mandrake so they can tell you the exact way.
May be that part is a bit the same as SuSE but i'm not sure.
Try to find rcmysqld. if you have it, type 'rcmysqld start'.
Its possible that it is all you have to do at the moment.
Wait else for the guru's  using mandrake.

In the mean time reading the 'man mysql' can may be help you.
