Don't quote me but I think I remember reading on slashdot in the last couple 
of months of some serious problems with some of the more recent versions of 
mysql and a recommendation to stick to an older version perhaps, but I didn't 
read the details, have no technical training at all, like many am just a 
hobbyist,  and my (aging) memory may be very faulty.

However, this article may be worth looking at, its got lots of links and seems 
to have been updated last in Dec 2008 so is recent, certainly would be a 
better bet that 'Eeny, meeny, miny, moe'
