I'm not defending the comparison/analogy, just saying that it makes sense to lay people who have heard of "Linux" when they are explained about PostgreSQL. -Roberto -- +| http://fslc.usu.edu USU Free Software & GNU/Linux Club |--+ Roberto Mello - Computer Science, USU - http://www.brasileiro.net http://www.sdl.usu.edu - Space Dynamics Lab, Developer Bad command or file name.
