With their next version releases, both Fedora and openSUSE will be switching from MySQL to MariaDB as the default database management system. The change is taking place because of the stability and speed improvements over MySQL.

Michal Hrušecký, an openSUSE developer and the MySQL maintainer for openSUSE and SUSE, explained that with MariaDB, you'll still be using the "same API [application programming interface], same protocol, even same utilities and mostly the same data files.

...Additionally, in a memo penned in LibreOffice, Mr.Hrušecký requested that Mr. Ellison "get bent."
 
I've been debating whether to switch to MariaDB on my home web server. I haven't tinkered it with it much yet, but was wondering if anyone has had personal experience with it. Stability? Performance? Usability?

Can the PHP MySQL connectors work with it?
