Exactly that is why i recommend when machine goes bad to restore from clonezilla.
1. buy pc
2. reinstall from DVD, install other software drivers
3. create clonezilla backup on Dual layer DVD.
When it breaks pop in the DVD.
The reason MySQL is so popular is that it is supported in almost every "open source application" that needs a database on the backend. Whenever I come across a product that requires a DB it is usually mysql > then PostgreSQL > then Oracle > then whatever. Look at Drupal, OTRS, moodle, alfresco, Nuxeo or other CMSes, CRM, etc. Look at the install requirements. They usual mention the DB support in this order.
