"MySQL quietly deprecated support for most Linux distributions on October 16, when its 'MySQL Network' support plan was replaced by 'MySQL Enterprise.' MySQL now supports only two Linux distributions — Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. We learned of this when MySQL declined to sell us support for some new Debian-based servers. Our sales rep 'found out from engineering that the current Enterprise offering is no longer supported on Debian OS.' We were told that 'Generic Linux' in MySQL's list of supported platforms means 'generic versions of the implementations listed above'; not support for Linux in general." Source: Slashdot.org MySQL (the database) still works with Debian, but MySQL (the support company) no longer sells support for Debian.
Thats grim. I was just about to do away with windows and use ubuntu for finishing off the shops I started making.... I suppose its ok to edit them offline with lamp though.
