Re: Updates for PostgreSQL.org one-click installer download pages

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 
information on how to install ports.

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
