I'm more concerned though about the complete experience, i.e.
postgresql performance on Linux vs Bsd vs Windows...
Maintainability.. Stability... os tweeks that were really needed to
make pg work well, etc.
Linux and FreeBSD is going to be your best bet. BSD is a little better
and dealing with very, very high loads. Linux tends (at least from my
experience) to be a little quicker. So it depends on your needs.
Basically if you stay with Linux (2.6 kernel) or FreeBSD (4.9+) you
should be rock solid.
Sincerely,
