I have been working on installing a webserver w/ CentOS 4 and mysql 5.  
When I started I didn't see mysql5 in centosplus so I installed the ones 
from AB.  I've been having trouble with SeLinux though, so I was curious 
if you had done something specifically to make this work.  (My best 
guess is the lib directory and stuff caused this to work if it moved it 
to match the default file contexts).

Anyways, I'm planning on switching over since the server isnt' deployed 
and this way I can get updates.  Thanks to the centosplus people for 
adding mysql5, you're saving me a bit of work.
