I have just finished installing the 6.5.3 tar on my linux database server.
After testing, I have found PostgreSQL to be an excellent database. I was
especially impressed by the full feature set that is available. My thanks to
everyone who has contributed to this project.

I now want to deploy the client to a few workstations, and install the
server on another linux server. What is the best way to deploy this version?
The last time I tried the 6.5.2 RPM's, there where a few things missing, so
I removed them and installed the tar. Are the 6.5.3 RPM's complete? Do I
give up anything by using the RPM's? Is it advisable to install another
server with the RPM's, or is administration hampered if I do this as opposed
to building from the source?

Thanks for your help.
