Re: Upgrade to Red Hat Linux 9 broke PostgreSQL

I've heard that about Debian and SUSE too actually. It still (unfortunately)
comes down to market penetration- even for open source. I just tell folks to

personality best...

Of course I am 3-0 in converting people from RedHat/Mandrake to Slackware.

*grin*
