This is at best, a religious question.  Much of the installation 
of distribution supported packages is dependent on the flavour of 
linux you are using.  If most of your boxes are Mandrake, I would 
try to stay with Mandrake.  I am a Debian (unstable) person, and 
I consistently see activity from the Debian packagers on this 
mailing list.  So, I would think that Debian linux support is 
good.  But if you are used to RPM based packages, I don't think 
that PostgreSQL is a valid reason to change from whatever RPM 
based distribution you are running to something Debian based 
(.deb).
