The easiest way to get started is to use your package management system to install PG for you. If you are on a Fedora/Centos or similar based system then this is easily accomplished with the 'yum' command. The minimal packages to add would likely be : postgresql-server postgresql The latter gives you the 'psql' command line tool. There are lots of other fancy things you can add, of course. You might want to run yum search postgres | more and it will give you a list of what is out there with a bit of a description of each. As for lists in your language, I do not see anything at : http://archives.postgresql.org/ -- “Mother Nature doesn’t do bailouts.” - Glenn Prickett -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
