- I'm sorry to say that SUSE just isn't a good source if you want to do serious
- PostgreSQL deployment. They ship PostgreSQL because it's there, but they, as
- an organization, just don't care enough to consistently provide the packages,
- updates, and support that you'd want for serious use. So if you can't use a
- different operating system, either accept what you get and hope you get away
- with it, or prepare to spend some resources to do your own maintenance.

I'm working on my management to allow me to roll my own PG and get a 3rd party
support.

Responses from Novell (like what I sent to the list) only help to further that
cause.
