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.
