I like that with debian I can install multiple postgres versions and it
handles everything for me :) Changing the default port, config files are
in different folders, different start up scripts.. all works very nicely :)
Which means you can have 8.1 installed and 8.3 installed at the same
time - both from packages, no compiling etc necessary - and can switch
between them very easily.
