I also noticed that on FreeBSD (6.2) at least the stock config simply
won't run without building a new kernel that bumps up all the SHM stuff or
dropping down resource usage in the postgres config...

Overall, I like the idea.  I've been slowly working on weaning myself off
of mysql and I think removing any roadblocks that new users might stumble
upon seems like an excellent way to get more exposure.
