This is at best, a religious question. Much of the installation
of distribution supported packages is dependent on the flavour of
linux you are using. If most of your boxes are Mandrake, I would
try to stay with Mandrake. I am a Debian (unstable) person, and
I consistently see activity from the Debian packagers on this
mailing list. So, I would think that Debian linux support is
good. But if you are used to RPM based packages, I don't think
that PostgreSQL is a valid reason to change from whatever RPM
based distribution you are running to something Debian based
(.deb).
