I did this on one of my Quickstart instances and encountered no problems. It is a drop-in replacement, after all.

Bonus points for a script to change all the tables to ARIA.

One lovely feature of MariaDB is that you don't need to set the anonymous user UID back to 0 after a db restore. I'm using MariaDB on all my production sites now with no troubles at all.

Hmm, didn't search for this issue a few weeks ago when I was trying to add... but at the time the ppa for precise (ubuntu 12.04) didn't exist. I just checked, it still doesn't.

I'd totally welcome a patch in the install script to do a manual install ... likely this file: quickstart/setup_scripts/quickstart-3-lamp.sh
