Where did you get your current production copy of PostgreSQL from?
1) FTP/Bittorrent from PostgreSQL.org
2) In a Linux distribution
3) In the Ports Collection
4) From some other Open Source web site
5) Some other way

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.

Well I think the reason for the bias is obvious... you aren't l33t
unless you are doing source installs with a *n*x system. Well
really that doesn't even qualify... it has to be a FreeBSD *n*x
system. ;)

Actually, 3 doesn't necessarily == source install either, since almost all
"ports" are available as pre-built binaries that you can download and
install ... its still all considered part of the "Ports Collection" though
...
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
...

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 know it is even there.
