CentOS and Linux Mint switched to MariaDB several years ago. I suspect this has already happened in other distros. I have not noticed any problems with the switch. -- Cheers!

You mean there are distributions that haven't switched yet? I thought they all had. Maybe someone was slacking off. :)

I wonder how long before Oracle starts suing people using MariaDB now that they own MySQL? Kind of like they did with Google over using the Java published interfaces. -- Alvin Starr || land: (647)478-6285 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||

Well mariadb exists because Oracle bought mysql. It didn't need to exist before they bought it. It's been 12 years, I don't think they have any basis to sue anyone, probably much to their annoyance. -- Len Sorensen
