I wonder how common it actually is, though, to *build postgres* on a
terminal services machine with other users on it...
Well, the banks I've contracted at recently are all rather keen on
virtual desktops for developers, and some of those are terminal
services. We're a headache, and packaging up all the things we need is
a pain, so there is some mileage in buying grunty servers and doing
specific installs that are then shared, rather than making an MSI
generally available.
Also I have experience of being given accounts for jenkins etc that are
essentially terminal services logins, and having these things unable to
maintain a software stack can effectively disqualify tech we would
otherwise use.
