Before I start

[zergling]

Hi guys.

Im considering using this install guide
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ianLinuxServer

And I noticed that it uses a command to get the most recent version of MySQL. Which was okay when the guide was written, but would now grab 5.1 which I have heard has issues with the range keyword thing.

Is there a way to specify to get the older version?




I'm starting with a new blank hard drive, so trying to decide between going windows or linux now. I'm new to debian, but have fiddled with Linux a bit a couple years ago for something else. I am a little inexperienced with Linux, but that guide was good enough to make me seriously consider it. Most of the windows guides I have found seem to have some issues at the moment.

Thanks for your time, and any input is appreciated, even "just go make a windows server newb".
