Both are good, I guess it depends what kind of expertise you have around
or are willing to pay for.
For me I would pick Linux because it is easier to install and maintain,
and there is much more articles etc on the web.
For a bullet proof Linux Install you could use CentOS which is a clone
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or for really good performance you could
also use Gentoo, I actually run all my PG servers on Gentoo and it is
great, very easy to update and maintain.
You could also use FreeBSD, but I am not sure how well it would work
with a 4 way system.

Hi,
we are planning to use Postgresql 8.0 on a SUN Fire v40z Server with 4
SingleCore Opterons. It will be later replaced by an DualCore
Opterons.
Would you prefer using Solaris or Linux?
Thanks in Advance,
Thomas
