To be exact: The *old* Debian strategy. Debconf in Potato (2.2) does
a great job and will be even better in the future. There exist's also
an project called FAI, which enables fully automatical install.
No intention to start a distribution flamewar, just to serve some
facts, which I have to while being a Debian maintainer ;-).
Just use your favourite distribution and have fun with the nice
PostgreSQL server.
Kind regards
Andreas.
