I am not Windows DBA. I have very good experience on Linux and working
on postgres.
I installed postgres in both way's rpm based and source code installation.
I prefer source code for below reason
I will have control on postgres software location
few parameter I can modify with source code installation (like
wal-segsize).
I can install same version postgres on multiple times as per our
need.

I want to hear experts thoughts on this .

kindly advise
