I'd greatly prefer a GUI. It seems like a command-line tool would be incredibly tedious when creating tables, modifying them, filling them with data, etc. Thanks.

Well the tutorial is geared to using the command line to run programs.
Are you comfortable with the command line or would you prefer to use a GUI like pgAdmin?
I just learned about phpPGAdmin and installed it as well. But when I
navigate to localhost/phppgadmin, I get a "not found" error message.

But it doesn't say where I'm supposed to type it. When I click
on the

I've clicked File, Edit, Plugins, etc., but I don't see any
clues about
where I'm supposed to type commands.
So lets backup up a bit:
1) What OS are you on?
2) How did you install Postgres?
3) What version of Postgres?
Hope it is not 8.0 implied by the doc link above.
