Can it be "dropped in" in a ISPCONFIG 3 Environment ???
Or is that the next tutorial 
Of course - it is a drop-in replacement for MySQL, i.e., it is in fact a MySQL server optimized for performance. It replaces the MySQL server from your distribution's repositories, but leaving your data intact.
When percona is installed it doesn’t create a my.cnf file. Can show how to use the config wizard at http://tools.percona.com to create and use a my.cnf file?
Attention: I switched to Percona on the mailserver and stopped receiving mails. The amavis daemon/MySQL connector was not compatible with it - so postfix stopped doing it work.
This encountered on a Squeeze system - if someone will have problems, make sure you check this by restarting amavis (this will print the error)
