Perfomance matters the most. So, what would be the ideal setup for
permomance in
Pg?
Machine specs:

PIII 1.0 GHz
640 MB Ram
36 Gig Hd partions as follows:
/dev/sda1
linux swap 1 Gig

/dev/sda2 / 11 Gigs
/dev/sda3
/var 11 Gigs
/dev/sda4
Free 11 Gigs

/dev/sda4 is not currently mounted, so that in future when redhat has
new releases,
the insallation can be made without changing the existing installtion
