Using MySQL on (headless) Linux

That the deployment needs to be headless doesn’t prevent you from running it n the IDE to gain access to single stepping, breakpoints, and the like.

I don’t remember why offhand, but before finding the -ui option, I did some experimenting and fount that I could get the linux version of 5.something to begin execution.  It ran at least preOpenStack before attempting to start the X GUI
