Re: Best OS for Postgres 8.2

I am using FC6 in production for our pg 8.2.4 DB server and am quite 
happy with it.

The big advantage with FC6 for me was that the FC6 team seems to keep 
more current with the latest stable revs of most OSSW (including 
kernel revs!) better than any of the other major distros.

(Also, SE Linux is a =good= thing security-wise.  If it's good enough 
for the NSA...)

Downside is that initial install and config can be a bit complicated.

We're happy with it.

Cheers,
Ron Peacetree
