mysql version in FC3

[Bob Hartung]

Hi all,
   I am stumbling around trying to learn PHP & MySQL.  FC3, as of the 
latest updates, is using mysql-server-3.23.58-16, etc.  I note that the 
recommended version to use, according to the MySQL site is 4.11.  I see 
no identifiable RPMs for FC3 with this version numbering.

   Is there a reason for the delay in updating MySQL RPMs for FC3 or 
should I just go ahead to rpmfind.net and grab the 4.11 versions that 
are just listed as being for Fedora Core (version not specified). Note 
that the older RPMs are listed as specifically for FC3.

   This is a little confusing to me.  My tutorial is all based on MySQL 
ver. >4.

Thanks,

Bob Hartung
