If you download a copy of the Apache httpd web server, does it come bundled with a browser as well?

No - it doesn't. Although you'll access your web server through a browser most of the time (or rather your USERS will) it would be pretty odd to download both pieces of software together.

and yet ....

When you download a MySQL server, it does come bundled with the MySQL client program too .... and people find this rather odd. You could well argue for two separate downloads as you'll sometimes want to put the server on one machine and the client on another but that's not how its done!

If you want to download a MySQL server onto a machine, download it, follow the install instructions in the file called INSTALL-BINARY, and you're away - you can safely ignore the MySQL program if you don't need it.

If you want just a MySQL client you can copy it from the machine you've installed the server on, or pull the whole bundle down and just use the bits you want - no need to install or start the server, for example.
