I think 4.0 is a minimum for sure. For example, 3.23 doesn't include
query_cache so everything runs _very_ slowly. I've not tried out 4.1
but I'm not against it as a minimum. Since MySQL AB releases official
RPMs for all version of MySQL, it's not too hard to install a newer
version on RPM-based systems. Deb based systems have easy access to
version 4.0.18 last time I checked, but no good way to get 4.1 --
but with 'alien' or some other method there might be an easy way
to install 4.1.

My two cents,
