John, There's nothing to it. Maria is a drop-in replacement for MySQL... with several new features not yet implemented in MySQL. Initially I thought that Maria would trail MySQL in terms of features, but not so. It's Oracle/MySQL that's playying catch-up. Even if you opt for the paid support version, you still save a lot of money compared with the SQL 2012 implementation. I haven't begun it yet, but I plan to add a new chapter on Maria to our MySQL book and web site.
