Hello,
The more I look at this, the more of a train wreck it is. We have:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/
Improperly designates distributions vs "other" when the "other" also
offers native distribution (rpm for example). It says (for example):
Linux:
Red Hat family Linux (including CentOS/Fedora/Scientific/Oracle variants)Debian GNU/Linux and derivativesUbuntu Linux
andderivativesSuSE and OpenSuSEOther Linux
But "Other" is also available in RPM or Deb. This should really be:
Then you click, "Other" and BigSQL isn't listed but we list RedHat
etc... again.
I have already said my piece on:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx/
In fact the only page that isn't convoluted, redundant and badly
organized is the Windows page.
I strongly suggest that we need to look at this in a much more holistic
manner, come up with a unified presentation and proper, succinct wording.
Perhaps:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/
* BSD* FreeBSDPostgreSQL packages are available for FreeBSD from the FreeBSD Ports
and Packages Collection. Please see the ports documentation for

on the FreeBSD website.
* OpenBSD

SUSEand openSUSE
* Universal packages:* DEB* RPM* Windows* MacOSX
* Mac OS XUniversal packages as well third party distributions for MacOSX

I know this needs work but I think you can see where I am going with it.
A more generalized, less marketing lingo, directly informational listing
that provide more accurate descriptions with a specific bent toward PGDG
work.
I am willing to work up some patches in this regard if requested.
Sincerely,
JD
