Hi,

This has been a very interesting thread indeed.

I think the popularity of any Big Name $oftware with a 'nice' price tag has
also something to do with the fear of taking responsibility for your own
actions and decisions.

With a Big Name you can always blame them if something goes wrong instead of
having to admit that it was you who actually did something stupid.

But as said, popular does not necessarily equal to superior.

I have used PG since RedHat 6.2 (can't remember the PG version of that time)
and now use it on FC, CentOS and Ubuntu. My dbs are not large, the biggest
one has sixty odd tables and the biggest table is holding now around 100.000
rows. But I have seen it reach that from zero, with version upgrades and
without any real db-related problems.

Best regards,
