[Discuss] mysql problem



I believe MySql in Fedora is now called MariaDB. They went with the forked
project.
Indeed:
~~~~~~~   [username at example.com]:~  ~~~~~~~
 ---~23:16:39 ~--- ==> yum list mysql
Error: No matching Packages to list

~~~~~~~   [username at example.com]:~  ~~~~~~~
 ---~23:16:43 ~--- ==> yum list mariadb
Available Packages
mariadb.i686                                   1:5.5.39-1.fc20
                     update
mariadb.x86_64                                 1:5.5.39-1.fc20
                     update
