Thanks to Josh and all the others who replied. I have
a friend who old me to go with Red Hat, but as
mentioned, it looks like it's being discontinued. So I
went with their "Fedora" distribution (Test 3,
"Severn"). Even though it's beta, it was a snap to
install.
I had a little trouble getting PostgreSQL to run, but
a quick go at Google solved everything in just a few
minutes.
One thing I have to say right off the bat regarding
PostgreSQL -- there's *great* documentation available!
I worked my way through the tutorial last night, and
now it's on to reading the User Guide.
Again, a sincere thanks to everyone that offered
suggestions. I appreciate it.
