Rails - Jun 2005 - Need help getting a database installed for Rails on Fedora Core 3

I''m relatively new to Linux, Ruby, and Rails but I currently have an
installation of Fedora Core 3 running with Ruby on Rails using FastCGI on
Apache.

Apache was installed with FC3 but I don''t believe that MySQL was
installed
at that time.

I''m looking to dive in and create an app with Rails and was hoping to
get
some assistance in getting a database installed that I can use as the
backend for my Rails app.

I''ve considered MySQL, Postgres, and SQLite. I am not sure which one I
should go with, which has better Rails support?

What are the pros/cons of each?

How do I go about installing these? Tutorials greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

The only con I''ve run into on postgreSQL is that a lot of the other 
popular Rails apps (e.g. Typo, BugTrack) are ready to roll with MySQL 
and you have to do some tweaking to get it ready for postgreSQL.

Cheers,

Jim

Correction. Typo works with PostgreSQL (and has since Feb). ;-)
