In some cases, i.e. in a production context where you have to optimize your postgresql, the ability of configuring and compiling postgresql from sources is a must. This should make you use a more flexible distribution like slackware and gentoo with which you can prepare your linux box from scratch by compiling everything according to your needs (it isn't enough to have a binary linux distribituion installed and only postgresql compiled from sources).
