No, they're not the same, and sadly for your future database experiences, this is one area in which most databases are not the same. you'll need to take a quick tour of the administrators guide: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&file=admin.html the quick skinny is that you can use the command line tools as the postgres super user (su - to root, then su - to postgres) to create databases and users to start. createuser createdb should work. but you really need to read the administrators guide a bit to get a feel for the things you'll likely need to know. We'll teach ya to fish, we won't fish for ya...
