No, you're right, RPM is a pile of balls.

Debian. Apt-get is amazing. I miss it whenever I use non-Debian distros.

I should point out that it's not the package manager that matters here, it's the version of the distro. Even if he had apt-get, it won't just give him the latest version automatically, it'll give him the version packaged in the distro.

Try gentoo. Distro versions are not a problem there

My server (and this computer) is running Ubuntu - I just had to do a sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 php5-mysql and it was done - the only other thing I had to do was to enter a root password for the mysql server and boom, everything worked.

No, but the installation is. It's hardly user friendly. I tried it today. Ghastly.
