As just "another technical user" I feel the client/server flags would a killer |
| 17 |
feature. |
| 18 |
I have several Gentoo desktops, some mildly slow, and a number of servers. On |
| 19 |
all of the desktops I was mysql support to talk to my servers. It has always |
| 20 |
annoyed me that I have to install the server too, it's such a pointless waste |
| 21 |
of time and space. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If the client is always built, and the server too with the default flags |
| 24 |
no-one would know the difference until they went and turned server support |
| 25 |
off. |
