I tried to do this, install mysql, some months ago but hit so many 
obstacles that I just put it off. Now Im trying again.

I installed mysql 4.0 and phpmyadmin.
I have tried to connect to the server but with no luck.
I tried to use phpmyadmin (which Im not familar with) to gain access to 
set up accounts but received this error:
    cannot load mysql extension;
please check PHP configuration
I checked the php.ini and the ; is removed from in front of the mysql 
extension module.

That thread that says Windows is 'better' than linux - well, I do not 
think so but installing and using this database is definately easier on 
Windows.

Could someone be so kind as to help me through this process. Im just not 
understanding what it is I need to do.

Thanks.

Wade
