Sorry, I sent this mail message with wrong account and it has been delayed
by the mail system, so I'm resending it.

Hello my friends,

I'd like to know (based on your experience and technical details) which OS
is recommended for running PostgreSQL keeping in mind 3 indicators:

1 - Performance (SO, Network and IO)

2 - SO Stability

3 - File System Integrity

Comparisons between Slackware, Gentoo and FreeBSD are welcome.

Which file system has the best performance and integrity: XFS (Linux) or UFS
(FreeBSD)?

*I've read that UFS is not a journaling FS. Is this right? How much this
difference affects performance and integrity?

I don't have experience with FreeBSD so I'd like to know if it is possible
to run XFS on FreeBSD 5.3.

Thank you,

Bruno Almeida do Lago
