Hi,

Is there any disadvantage of using a binary distribution from mysql versus ubuntu 9 repositories?
What are the pros and cons?

Thanks

Use your distro's package. Then you get all sort of batteries-included extras like updates when there are security fixes, guarantee that it should maybe work on your system, etc.

We recommend Ubuntu users to get MySQL, via the apt-get tool. Simply running sudo apt-get install mysql-server will get you MySQL 5.0.


I think you can ignore my first paragraph and just go with what MySQL says.
