But, default APT repository sources in Ubuntu still doesn't include latest version of MySql. I just finished installation of Ubuntu 14.04, but when I wanted to install MySql, it still installed MySql 5.5. Latest stable version of Mysql server is 5.6 (in 2014).

I use Ubuntu with Gnome Classic theme because it has more simple looks than latest default Unity theme. I love simple. It also can reduce graphical load in my computer. When I use this theme, some modern features are removed such us feature to create desktop shortcut. I can't drag and drop or make a link an application icon from application menu to desktop directly. Here is the way how I create desktop shortcut in Ubuntu with Gnome Classic. 1. Open Ubuntu directory explorer and go to /usr/share/applications 2. Find your application that you want to be displayed on desktop 3. Copy your application file to /home/<your_username>/Desktop copy Ubuntu application shortcut /usr/share/applications paste Ubuntu application shortcut to /home/<user>/Desktop
