Hello


Did I install Mysql with MariaDB ? :?:

[root@localhost mysql]# mysql -V
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.68-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

I get theses errors too:
-Plugin 'FEEDBACK' is disabled. cwp

Thank you for your attention and help

Mariadb is a fork of mysql so many thing in it still refer to mysql and probably always will.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
