[dba-SQLServer] 64 bit MYSql on 64 bit linux

John,

I would suggest getting an MSDN subscription, 2800 for 2 years.
It includes all versions of the software.

Since you are using the at "home," there really is not a licensing
issue with them.  Technically, they are for use in a development
environment only.
