Despite my best wishes, Ubuntu has actually trumped both SuSE and WinXP for once. The shock is liable to bring me to my knees and make me contemplate suicide. Seriously. I never thought I would say this but Ubuntu actually has an advantage.<\/p>\n

Now, fortunately, it is not a massive advantage. It raises its ugly head when it comes to installing MySQL. (So, not exactly something you do every day!).<\/p>\n

Based on Ubuntu’s normal difficulty with letting you install things, you would be reasonable to consider this the same.<\/p>\n

That is it. Seriously. It works. (Tested just now). I need to go and have a lie down.<\/p>\n
