Re: CenOS 5/Postgresql 9.6

Looks like I'll be compiling. BTW, I'm not planning on running a server on
it but have a couple pieces of expensive specialized hardware that are only
certified on RHEL 5 i386 systems. They do need to talk to the server and I
don't want to delay the migration of the rest of the infrastructure just
because those aren't replaced, yet.

Cheers,
Steve
