being used to mysql 5.1 on my fedora system, i'm suddenly looking after a centos 5.4 box with mysql 5.0.77. before i start digging into the mysql 5.0-5.1 changelog, do i have a lot to worry about in terms of mentally backing up one version? or is simply upgrading the centos box to mysql 5.1 an option? (i realize that mysql 5.1 is *not* officially supported in centos 5.4.)

There's a packaged 5.1.41 in the remi repo. I'm running it (and php5.3.1) on one machine as a side effect of getting the ocsinventory server there. I'm not running much else that isn't perl or java on that machine so I don't know if it can cause other problems.

I haven't seen any problems. I use the mysql 5.1 from the remy repo. I don't have it in heavy production, though.
