Installing MySQL on Ubuntu (the NSFW way) [dive into mark] — a response to Installing MySQL on OS X…
But Jesus H. Christ, it must suck giant wet donkey balls to be stuck on an archaic OS where you need to be dropping into the terminal and tweaking configuration files and compiling shit all the time.

Holy cow is that funny.
