Re: ?linux distro?

I am using Gentoo. Postgresql was an easy install.

emerge postgresql

and then it was compiled form scratch.

They only problem is that gentoo's software portage is currently only supported upto 8.0.4.

However, once 8.1 successfully tested and accepted it will be added to it portage tree.

Then simply type

emerge --update postgresql

it will rebuild postgresql to version 8.1. (a little more is involved push the schemas from 8.0 to 8.1 however i.e. pgdump)


Well that is my take on it.

I'm putting Postgresql 8.1 on linux intel x86 boxes for getting my Postgresql feet wet. Which linux distros are good for Postgresql 8.1? Desktop type or otherwise..
