one thing you might want to consider is system lifetime: some distro may be set up so that you more or less have to reinstall within 2 years, if you plan to use update service - others may be longer. Now, fast development is great AND allows you to change to better hardware easily. It does however mean that you might get surprised with a different postgres version at times you dont really like it. If you plan to install from source, this would not be of any concern regards Wolfgang Hamann -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
