Hi everyone on the list. I want to know what is the reccommended OS to work with PostgreSQL , on specific with PostGIS: One more question is about what HW (server) offers the best performance for a Web Map Server bases on PostGIS and mapserver.
In general, you're probably best off running whatever OS you're most comfortable with.
As for hardware, until recently, AMD was the un-disputed king when it came to running PostgreSQL (and databases in general). But the newer Intel CPUs seem to have surpassed the Opteron. I believe there's a tweakers.net article floating around that did some performance testing with the new CPUs.
