What are you talking about? Who said anything about Linux?

First of all, there are precompiled binaries available for MANY different OS's, including various flavors of Linux.
Might want to look at:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html
before you make a statement like that. Of the probably over 50 different packages available for download there, only 3 are source.

Second, as this is a primarily windows-using newsgroup (Mono isn't quite that big yet), it is a safe assumption that, unless stated
otherwise, we are discussing Windows.

And, even if there WEREN'T any compiled binaries available... this is a DEVELOPMENT newsgroup... if you can't compile source code
you probably have some other problems to see to first.
