The choice depends more on what you want / need to have than what people think you want / need.

I am more prone to use SuSE (SLES) as I have OpenSuSE on my laptop for years now. -- Jorge Godoy <jgo...@gmail.com> On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 13:00, Michael Gould < mgo...@intermodalsoftwaresolutions.net> wrote: > I know that this is probably a "religion" issue but we are looking to move > Postgres to a Linux server.
