My universe is Debian bound... so I even don't know if there is a
*nix version of the tuning wizard.
I'd consider it a quite useful tool even for "marketing" purposes on
Linux too.
Bad performance without tuning is a common thread here.
I really didn't have time to investigate about the debugger, I'd
expect that on Windows it "just works".
While many things on *nix just work, debugging pg functions on Linux
is not one of those.
As you may have guessed my definition of "just works" in not that
different from "aptitude install".

I still have to find an howto for installing edb in Debian.
Could it be packaged for Debian if there were resources?

Exactly.
