Think of people who do not want an > installation via command line. Surely the only people installing from the command-line are those that want to. There's synaptic or yum or whatever to let you search for "postgresql" and handle all your dependencies for you. I mean *I* compile from source when I'm testing betas or want to backport and there's no package but I can't imagine most Ubuntu users bother. Now something to let you install extra modules, tune your postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf - that's useful. If it can explain as it goes along, all the better (like "bastille linux"?) -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
