I run PostgreSQL on a SuSe Linux 6.4 system without any problems. But I
suspect that it will run excelent on all other UNIX'es. Especially the
*BSD family (PostgreSQL has a BSD style license).

I use the Win32 ODBC driver, again without problems on a Win95 system.

If you want to make use of the RPM's, you must use Linux Red Hat or
SuSe. Personally I prefer compiling from source though.
