As a general rule of thumb, the latest server version is the supported version. Older versions typically fall out of the scope of support soon after a newer version is released. The client that goes with that latest server release, unmodified except for eqhost.txt, is the supported client. As you might expect, custom changes to the source code or client files are unsupported.
If you search, you will find an official statement from a (admittely now inactive) dev that states "Minilogin is unsupported, as is LAN play." In practice, development has done a very good job at making minilogin usable with few or no issues. But for optimum supportability, until you hear an official statement otherwise, you should consider connecting your server to the public Login server unless you are just totally isolated from the Internet and have no other choice but to use Minilogin.
Mysql 4 is what they recommend going with. There is a mysql 5 undergoing beta, but until it becomes supported by mysql devs, don't expect it to be supported here.
You are responsible for populating your world with appropriate items and npc's. EQEmu provides you the skeleton database, but it's not within the scope of the project to populate it with mobs, items, factions and all the other things that make Norrath go around. Related projects like ProjectEQ and Cavedude's installer pack strive to provide data that resembles EQLive.
Anything I missed?
