Thanks to Nino Petkov for pointing out this MySQL release to me.

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org/ a try. This
is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably
faster than downloading from ftp.slackware.com/.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating
additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! 🙂

Also see the “Get Slack” section on http://slackware.com for additional
mirror sites near you.
