I run PostgreSQL on Debian without problems, it's much simpler than on Tru64, it works fine and I seize the opportunity tocongratulate the Debian maintainer of the package, Oliver Elphick, which does a lot of work to hide PostgreSQL's annoyances(such as upgrades from one version to another). PS: I don't use dselect.

I'm running PostgreSQL 7.0 on a Debian Potato machine--compiling and installing couldn't have been easier. Debian provides all the required libraries as packages. It was just "./configure && make && sudo make install" for me. If you want to follow the Debian unstable distribution, 7.0 is probably as simple as "apt-get install postgresql". > PS: I don't use dselect. Me neither. dselect isn't meant to be used by humans, or at least not by sane ones. "apt-cache search <regexp>" will let you search for packages by name and description fields, and "apt-get install <package>" or "apt-get [-b] source <package>" will install them (from pre-built binary or source, respectively). Graphical package browsers exist (gnome-apt, aptitude, maybe console-apt is still around). -- Shaw Terwilliger
