Ubuntu server 11.10 install with MySQL 5.5

[nervino]

Hi All, I need to install Ubuntu server with the latest version of MySQL 5.5. Is it possible to choose this mySQL version during ubuntu installation?
If no, how can I upgrade MySQL 5.1 to MySQL 5.5 after ubuntu installation? Can somebody suggest me a guide?

Thank you

Open the undergiven link

In this choose Debian Linux and download V5.5, after that uninstall the previous version and install this one using dpkg or simply doubling clicking it.

You can also try Percona MySQL, it uses InnoDB engine instead of default MyISAM, and current version is 5.5. There is a .deb installation package, and also a nice guide how to set up an apt repository for installation. Also on http://tools.percona.com you have a great my.cnf generator, which makes it an all in one solution.
