This is a patch to update the descriptions for the EDB one-click
installers for OSX, Windows and Linux.
<edboneclickpatch.diff>

I reviewed the page and it looks okay from a technical perspective.  I
will wait a day to see if anyone has a comment on the language, and if
not, will apply it.

-1.

I read through this and this is essentially a marketing update.

That in itself isn't a bad thing but it will create inconsistencies in the
site. For example on:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx/

It will now say:

"Interactive installer by EnterpriseDB"

Instead of the site/vendor consistent "Graphical Installer"

Right and with good reason - it's more accurate. The installers can run in
either graphical or text modes interactively (and silent mode in fact).

Is there specific, new functionality targeted at:

"

server environments including bare metal,

virtual environments, and public, private, and hybrid clouds.

"

Nothing particularly new, but there is support for silent and
scripted/parameterised installations that can be used in such
environments, for example via cloud-init.

As I pointed out though, these descriptions haven't been updated in
years. We just want to refresh them with more informative and up to
date information.
