I am not Windows DBA. I have very good experience on Linux and working on postgres.
I installed postgres in both way's rpm based and source code installation.
I prefer source code for below reason
I will have control on postgres software location
few parameter I can modify with source code installation (like wal-segsize).
I can install same version postgres on multiple times as per our need.

Are you a Windows DBA with no Linux or Postgres experience? (I ask that so that we know "where you are" in regards to installing software on Linux.)
