What is "Enterprise Linux"? (Aside from the future version to be
deployed on starships...)
It is quite likely that if "Enterprise Linux" includes:
a) A reasonably modern version of Linux, which is an operating system
kernel produced by Linus Torvalds and the "cast of thousands,"
b) A reasonably modern version of GLIBC, a GNU project which I
believe is mostly managed by folks at the "Cygnus Solutions"
division of Red Hat Software, and
c) Some reasonable set of ancillary libraries, tools, compilers,
and such,
You can quite likely compile and run PostgreSQL on the system.
It certainly runs well on numerous other flavours of Linux, including
Debian, various releases by Red Hat Software, SuSE, MandrakeSoft, and
those wild and crazy guys of Slackware.
But it's hard to guarantee that you haven't found some new
distribution on which it might not run.

"Linux is not ready for the Enterprise. There is not a single
voice-controlled app for any of the mission critical functions of the
Enterprise. Conspicuously absent are warp core control, phaser bank
activation, interstellar navigation, transporter operation, and the
all-important self-destruct sequence. Until these and thousands of
other important apps are written and deployed, Linux will just be a
toy in the Enterprise." -- Kevin Novak, Network Computing Magazine
