The Answers Are Yes Yes Yes And No

… what was the questions?

Does SQLyog connect to MySQL on Fedora Core 5 without problems? YES!

Does SJA for Linux work on Fedora Core 5? YES!

Does SQLyog and SJA for Windows run on Wine on Fedora Core 5? YES!

Any problems? NO, not really …

Fedora Core 5 was released about 2 weeks ago. As FEDORA is one of the more popular LINUX distro's some people will probably ask the questions one day! So now they have the answers! FC5 comes distributed with MySQL 5.0.18. There is no WINE included with the distribution – however WINE 0.9.1 is available from the Fedora 'extras' FTP-repository. Just type

su -c 'yum install wine'

from a command shell and the yum installer looks it up on the Internet and installs it. This WINE release is a few months old (binaries for RH and FC have not been built since then for some reason) but it works OK with SQLyog. Actually I would not recommend any newer WINE version than 0.9.8 for 'production' use with any LINUX as the WINE people have newly introduced a lot of highly experimental 3D graphics functions (and sound driver modules) that are not all 'polished' yet.

Actually it is a little easier with FC5 than what I wrote here http://www.webyog.com/faq/31_71_en.html as the 'Core Fonts' are not really needed on FC5 + WINE 0.9.1 (They are on SuSE as the GUI is almost unreadable without them – but SQLyog displays beautifully on FC5 without).

I must admit that I have not configured Apache and PHP yet on that system, so I can't say 100% that there is not an issue with HTTP-tunnelling. But direct connection and SSH tunnelling both work fine – no mater if I connect from the FC5 machine itself or a Windows machine or a SuSE 10 Machine on the network
