I have received a very old system running MySql 4.0.20a on a Windows Server 2003 Standard 32bit.

mysql> status
--------------
mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.20a, for Win95/Win98 (i32)

Connection id: 19
Current database:
Current user: root@localhost
SSL: Not in use
Server version: 4.0.20a-debug
Protocol version: 10
Connection: localhost via TCP/IP
Client characterset: latin1
Server characterset: latin1
TCP port: 3306

I would like to be able to transfer/move the database to a CentOS 6.3 64it server, running MySql 5.1.61;

mysql> status
--------------
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.61, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1

Connection id: 3
Current database:
Current user: root@localhost
SSL: Not in use
Current pager: stdout
Using outfile: ''
Using delimiter: ;
Server version: 5.1.61 Source distribution
Protocol version: 10
Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket
Server characterset: latin1
Db characterset: latin1
Client characterset: latin1
Conn. characterset: latin1
UNIX socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

The engine used is MyISAM.

Are there any howtos anyone can point me to?

Someone was mentioning about "changing the decimal definitions in databases structure dump". Do I need to do it? How is it done?

Show I update to the latest GA version on MySql [ Red Hat/Oracle Enterprise Linux ver. 6 (x86, 64-bit), RPM Package MySQL Server 5.5.28 (MySQL-server-5.5.28-1.el6.x86_64.rpm) ] before attempting to do the transfer/move?

This is my first encounter with the MySql stuff (or any sql server) and I would appreciate all the advice I would get!

Thanks.
