I recommend that you buy the rather excellent book "DBA's guide to databases on Linux"
published by Syngress written by David Egan and Paul Zikopoulos ISBN: 1-928994-04-0 It covers PG setup on Linux and loads of other handy things (it also covers a large number of other DBs, both commercial and OpenSource). Then, combine that with the notes on http://www.postgres.org and you are away! Oh, and use http://www.google.com to search for solutoins to any problems that you have because with OpenSource, someone, somewhere out there has usually had the same problem as you and solved it. OpenSource software comes with the best (and free) support possible for a software app and it's all online! Brad Robb Fenwick wrote: > Hello, > > > > I am new to Linux and Postgresql.
