David, is there some other site that offers Windows download packages? I mean,
unless your getting it from us I don't know how else people would get it.
Josh are you sure these categories are specific enough... I see some confusion
for debian/gentoo users, and perhaps Fink should be mentioned for OSX? Of
course we only get 8 slots... How about
1) FTP/Bittorrent from PostgreSQL.org
2) Included with your Operating System Distribution (Ports/Fink/Yum/Apt/etc..)
3) Some other Open Source website
4) Commerical Distribution (Powergres/EnterpriseDB/Bizgres/etc..)
5) Other
We could also ask them to email "Other" entries to webmaster or something...
we could then add in a suggestion or two if they come.

Same as with Linux, where you can download either the .rpm or the .srpm, I believe? But, I agree with Robert's list, vs this one, since "Ports" should be classified as "With Operating System Distribution" ... try and make it more generic, since we don't mention Solaris packages in the above, etc ... ---- Marc G.

I imagine the response will be zero, but an interesting one to add would be 6) Included with or embedded in another application, appliance, or device It would really be interesting to know how many different embedded usages of Postgres there are and how many people knowit is even there. -----Original Message----- From: Marc G.
