Hello all, What version of Linux does ProgreSQL run best on? The references I've been able to find only mention RedHat. Also, does anyone know of a web-based e-mail app that coexists peacefully with it? Thanks!

works like a champ on DEBIAN 2.2 (aka potato)...
# /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.samfundet.no/~tfheen/debian potato main
just
apt-get install postgresql{,-doc,-dev,-client}
and you're off to the races.

PostgreSQL is rigorously tested on a number of different operating systems. Not just linux. If you're dead set on a flavor of linux you can try Suse, Debian, RedHat, etc... I don't use linux so I can't tell you much about any of them, although I've always heard good things technically about Suse and plan on looking at it in the not too distant future. If you're not really stuck on linux you can look at the *BSD family. I'll not get into the linux vs bsd stuff, but FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and BSDI are all a good choice for any of your server needs - database or otherwise. Yahoo runs FreeBSD. Ok, so I'm biased.

I've run it on debian potato and woody, Mandrake 7.0, 7.1, RH 6.2 - all without a hitch. I've also run it from rpms, debs (apt-get) as well as compiled from source. If you want some particular features, I'd suggest compiling it yourself, but it's not that hard.
