Welcome to postgresql camp!
i was MVS, os/390,... "sysprog" myself for 4 years (until i realized that i
had to return to the real thing (unix) asap, so i left the job in the bank).
I think, apart from postgresql you gotta get familiar with the linux/*bsd/unix
concepts as well, as sometimes performance has to do with OS tuning too.
Features/concepts wise, i dont think you'll face big problems, since
you are coming from a rich rdbms.
