What nonsense. The only thing you need to set up a MySQL server is, surprisingly, the MySQL server! Once the server is set up any client can connect and management is pretty much the same on both platforms. I would even argue that it's easier to set up on Linux. Practically the only thing you need to do is:

Код:

apt-get install mysql-server

and you're pretty much done. Whereas on Windows you need to go the download page, select the proper version, download that version, sit through the entire installation procedure, blah blah blah.
