So the difference between Linux and other OS', is that Linux let's you use commands?(like in CSS console vs options menu; Only need simple answer)

No. Every OS out there lets you use a command console, Windows included. Linux has the Unix type console because Linux is a clone of Unix. Mac OS X has the same type console because it's based on Unix. The unix console/terminal is far more powerful than the Windows command console / powershell for scripting.



I've only done the first (with Apache) and the last ones in that list, and it also took me a while to get it working right :(

i used to think fomenta was epic....i was wrong...

All hail Fomenta, God of pwnage and Geekery.

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost.localdomain password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /usr/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

[ OK ]
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
[root@localhost vadmin]# mysqladmin -u root password 'n00bfest'
[root@localhost vadmin]# mysql -u root -p
