I have mysql-5.5.14-osx10.6-x86 (although interestingly enough, when I run mysql and do '? version' it comes back with 5.5.16-standard), which I've gotten that up and running on Lion and have been using it without any significant problems.

I have mysql-5.5.14-osx10.6-x86 (although interestingly enough, when I run mysql and do ‘? version’ it comes back with 5.5.16-standard), which I’ve gotten that up and running on Lion and have been using it without any significant problems.

I have simply disabled IPv6 on CentOS altogether because of the lack of firewalling ability in general, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243739 for more info.

While the UI is lightening fast to load compared to other browsers I still prefer the Gecko rendering engine to WebKit.

I'd not come across it until I saw the first script on the Shartak wiki, so I'm pretty impressed with Shartak because of that :) It's so easy as well - I knocked up my own script to help with mapping until I found a better way of doing it.
