I have upgraded MySQL on my RaQ550 to MySQL-3.23.51 a while ago and there is a 
little more to that: The 550 uses a different version of GLIBC than the other 
RaQs and the Qube use. Although one could force the RPM installation of 
MySQL-3.23.37 it sure won't do any good as 3.23.37 from PKGmaster.com was 
compiled against a different GLIBC.

In the end, if you force the installation of a MySQL which was compiled 
against a wrong GLIBC then you'd be inviting the same memory leakage problems 
which the RaQ3, RaQ4 and XTR have after the last official GLIBC updates.
