I'll agree with this, but throw out my personal preference of Gentoo
linux ;)

And I will agree that postgres is a better database then mysql in
most cases> But I will still choose mysql for one major reason...
replication. Postgres has no built in replication except for WAL file
replication which means the slave is in recovery mode and you cannot
run queries against it. If you are sure that you will never need to
scale past one db server then psql is probably a better choice but if
you will need to scale then mysql beats postgres hands down when it
comes to master, slave and master master replication.
