For a job like this, you definitely need to get rid of the Linux box and
move directly to a maxed out Sun E10K with Oracle.  Should only run you
about $1.2 million

No, but really...  MySQL is fairly easy to install.  If you use RPM it
is typically ready to go immediately.  O'Reilly has a couple of good
books out that cover MySQL.  Their SQL in a Nutshell is also pretty good
as far as SQL books go.
