I've seen book that prefer installing PostgreSQL as root and another one
recommends otherwise by first creating a postgres account and then
installing it as postgres. In the Oracle world, you don't use root to
install the software. What is the best practice as far as PostgreSQL
goes?
Create your postgres user
Install Postgres
make sure postgres user owns everything
use postgres user
