I installed Drupal 6 a while ago since I wanted something more powerful that
WordPress.  I captured my experience in a series of postings at:

Yes, you probably want to have a separate database user for Drupal.  I don't
think it's a requirement; just good practice.

I found the book "Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6" by David
Mercer to be very helpful.
