RedHat 9 and above... PostgreSQL is not more difficult to learn than MySQL is but lots more powerfull and secure. I use it since years and didn't find any more usefull ACID compliant RDBMS, including commercial solutions. As long as you don't use a real application server, the flat-files way can't be a competitive solution : for each new request, a cgi script loads from disk all the datas stored in flat-files.
