There is quite a difference.
GNU/Linux many not be the Hurd or OS/400 or a Lisp system it is not based on a microkernel with multiple servers, it stores files in an hierarchical filesystem instead of a relational database, it is based on C instead of a functional language but it is quite a decent design.
OTOH MySQL is tragical. There are much better alternatives, including the free ones.
