For the record, it says Fedora is the easiest _RedHat_ distro. It also 
points out that Debian and FreeBSD packages/ports pretty much Just Work 
out of the box.

None of which helps with an existing Fedora install, of course; if 
you're stuck with a Fedora box running MySQL 3, your best bet is 
probably to install a separate MySQL instance to a different location.

That, of course, is probably not the most efficient use of the hardware, 
but really, MySQL 3 is old and lacks features upon which RT relies.
