options for configure, like Windows install (no replies)

Hello,

We currently run 5.1 on Windows 2008.
We have the innodb engine as the default

our database would be a small-medium size, i guess.
about 600GB in size and grows by about 400MB per day.
we have at least 1.5 million inserts/updates/deletes per day.

Due to some issues with the windows server, and the fact that there are more tools on the linux system, we are trialling a linux install of MySQL.

However, i found that innodb is not enabled/installed by default?

What I was wondering is what options should I enable when running configure to:
(a) enable innodb (i think just --with-package-innodb)
(b) any other options needed for innodb?
(c) we may look at replication later so what options are needed for replication?
(d) enable options to make the linux instance as close to that of the default windows install
(e) any other options that you don't get as easily on windows but make for a fuller-featured system? i know that is a bit broad but i would be interested in others' options
(f) any options for management tools, either MySQL-based or 3rd party (like phpMyAdmin, etc.)
(g) any options for high-throughput databases?



not much, i know, and a bit broad!

cheers!
