It's the unhelpful attitude that is one of the primary obstacles to
Linux achieving total world domination. Nerds think everyone has
unlimited time in the day to read or play around, and see no point in
shortening the learning curve. Evidently, everyone must re-invent the
wheel.

Anyway, Alex is right about one thing -- running mySQL can be easy but
it does require a little reading. Once you get mySQL up and running for
the first time, I suggest starting it like this afterward. First, login
as root. Then type:

safe_mysqld &

This will run the mySQL daemon as a background process (the amperand
character).
