Description:
The "Platforms Supported" section of http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster.html#nolinkhere causes some confusion (e.g. "other Unix-style operating systems"). In addition it is easy for this document to to diverge from the official statement at http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/cluster.html

How to repeat:
Check http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster.html#nolinkhere

Suggested fix:
Replace the current paragraph with...

*Platforms supported.* for Supported Platfroms, see http://mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/cluster.html

Discussed with Andrew. who addressed my concerns about having to deal with constant changes to the indicated section fo the Cluster chapter. I'll try to close this week before resuming vacation.
