Best Linux release supporting OMSA but not official release ?

[Florent Gilain]

Tom,

Well, i'm not a linux Guru, and was thinking that using the RPMs availables
at www.mysql.com website for Linux of Mysql5 server would create problem
when i would run up2date using RHN after (version conflict ?)

I don't want to have to compil anything, using rpm is simplier for me/us
;-))

why cant you just update those packages rather than relying on the ones
present on install?

I have OMSA working on FC3, FC4, RHEL2, RHEL3, RHEL4, CentOS3 and CentOS4
