to get better help, you'll need to have far more specific questions. ie. some
might say "apt-get install postgres" is enough for anybody, but that might be
completly irrelevant in your environment.
that said, if you can get it installed (and really, try to get 8.3.3 if you
can), i'd recommend looking at
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server for some
configuration hints.
If you have specific questions beyond that, please post them in the list, and
be sure to include your OS and version information. HTH :-)
