Looks pretty good to me. I attach a delta patch with a few more
proposed adjustments. Notably, I made the wording about /etc/sysctl.conf
for Linux match that for other OSes, except I said "see" not
"modify" because (at least on my Red Hat based installations)
the comments in /etc/sysctl.conf direct you to modify various
sub-files.

Yeah, ISTR some prior discussion about that on our lists.
If anyone's trying to run PG on their phone, they probably
