Hi -
I've been running MySQL 5.0.22 out of centosplus/ for a long while now,
in production. I've had no problems with it.
As always, back up your data, and simply rpm -Uvh it. You should have
no problems.
Now, if you're talking a 3.x -> 5.x upgrade - I did that a short while
ago. Let's just say that it's not fun :)
Thanks, and good luck
