For a generic use of postgresql, binary packages in any linux distribution
are good and reliable. In some cases, i.e. in a production context where you
have to optimize your postgresql, the ability of configuring and compiling
postgresql from sources is a must. This should make you use a more flexible
distribution like slackware and gentoo with which you can prepare your linux
box from scratch by compiling everything according to your needs (it isn't
enough to have a binary linux distribituion installed and only postgresql
compiled from sources).
