I did not run into one install problem, I read a thread about people having problems but the thread is over a year old now.
I used the 7.1 gutsy amd64 server version I then installed gnome desktop because its not installed by default. "i'm a windows admin i have to have my gui" then installed postgres 8.3 gutsy. it took about 3 hours to get the server setup. ---- Message from mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Will Weaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at 03-13-2008 08:11:06 AM ------ Justin, This may be a bit out of context, but did you run into any troubles getting your Perc6i RAID controller to work under Ubuntu 7.1? I've heard there were issues with that.

I think this looks pretty good, but maybe there are some suggestions about the configuration file. This is a web app, a mix of read/write, where writes tend to be "insert into ... (select ...)" where the resulting insert is on the order of 100 to 10K rows of two integers. An external process also uses a LOT of CPU power along with each query.
