I use testing in my sources, hence my sources.list: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free And then to get MySQL: apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client will get you started as both a client and server if that's what you want. It will also load in any other packages it needs in the way of dependencies. To see what else is available in package form for MySQL, do: apt-cache search mysql |more and you'll get an eyefull.
