I've been reading through stuff on html5 but have a very basic question: what do I need for html5? Do I need to download anything (from where?)?

I have LAMP...does HTML5 support mysql databases?

Here is an example page:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <title>Test page</title>

    <article>An article</article>
</html>

Also you might want to check out html5 boilerplate http://html5boilerplate.com/

technically speaking you don't need the html tag - it's optional :) - see section titled "HTML5 Minified" - http://html5doctor.com/your-questions-answered-11/

HTML 5 requires nothing special from web servers.

You do nothing - you just do what you always do with any HTML files. HTML5 only works in browsers that support new HTML5 tags. Those that don't support new tags will be rendered as just another inline tag.

mySQL doesn't care about what HTML you use. You need to use PHP or programming language to interface with DB to output to a HTML file.
