<b><big><big>Installing and Configuring MySQL</big></big></b>
<b><big>Introduction</big></b>
<big><font face=Georgia> In this page, you are going to install the MySQL server to your Fedora, and set a password to the root user.
MySQL is free database management system that is used by large web sites, such as Wordpress, Wikipedia, Twitter and Facebook. Because it threatens Oracle's business, it has been acquired by Oracle. It may stop the future open source development. </font></big>
