Possible, I don't have a preference between those two, except that the mariadb 
package seems to be nonworking at the moment (trying factory with empty dir, 
the init script aborts becasue the initial database setup fails).

as this is the community edition, I don't think we have to deal with Oracle in 
any way. The big plus is that Oracle maintains this version for us, so the 
only thing to do to fix security / bugs is usually to do a patchlevel version 
update. 

I'm not sure if the same applies to mariadb. My main point is: choose one, 
please. 


Thanks,
Dirk
