Re: Now what?

First, run the postmaster,

as root:
/sbin/service postgres start
(may be postgresql)

This should create an initial database.

Then, su to the user postgres and do
createuser YOURUSERNAME

and sign yourself up for all the priviledges.

Then, as yourself, do
createdb

That gives you a database with the same name as your username.

To connect to the database, just run
psql

and you're off and running!
