Well, to be pedantic, I don't think that PostgreSQL is "officially
supported" at all regardless of platform. The open-source community
provides the source code and wonderful on-line support from users and
developers but pre-compiled binaries are typically contributed by a
variety of commercial and non-commercial packagers (BSD ports,
EnterpriseDB, Martin Pitt for the Debian/Ubuntu packages, etc.).
However the "about" page does say that PostgreSQL "runs on all major
operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac
OS X, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows."
Cheers,
