Sorry wasn't clear. I meant does RH support running > 1 cluster of
the same version with simple commands from the command line. Like
pg_createcluster does. Of course you can run > 1 cluster if you're
willing to copy init scripts and jump through hoops, but RH is still

And if you're a beginning DBA / Sysadmin it's one less thing to have
to hassle with, which is why I recommend debian for newer pg dbas who
need to build their own machines. For me personally it's no big deal
but I'm not always the guy on call either.
