Without wanting to start a religious debate on the merits of various Linux distro's, I'm still going to ask the subjective question, which is probably a recurring one, and perhaps not suitable for this forum.

Which Linux distro's support Postgres releases the best? Which are best suited in a server vs. development suite of tools? Somewhat related but off on a tangent, for at least the last year up until the purchase of MySQL, Sun has been championing Postgres on their recently opened sourced Solaris OS. I do not appreciate what the extent of Sun's support of the Postgres community has been, but a presentation I attended last year seemed to indicate that they were doing quite a bit in performance and profiling enhancements, particularly in tuning the DB to the Solaris OS.

How does Solaris with Postgres stack up against the various Linux distro's with Postgres? Also, will Sun as far as anyone is aware of their intentions, continue to have the same level of interest in Postgres following the MySQL acquisition? And will they continue to champion Postgres like they had been doing over the previous twelve months?

Cheers,

Andy

Yeah, I wasn't seriously suggesting you change OS just for pgAdmin :-)

Unfortunately though, Suse seems to be the one RPM based linux distro
where a) we don't have anyone building packages and b) things never
seem to go smoothly :-(
