> Sad but true: PostgreSQL is the Sybase of the Free software world, and I would love you to prove me wrong. Perhaps the shadow of MySQL is what is keeping PostgreSQL from greater acceptance, who knows; I agree that a wider known PostgreSQL would be a great outcome.

While still not too nice results, I think its more meaningful to compare the actual server packages installed because the -common packages are installed as dependencies on *loads* of things.

That comparison only is valid if people install the version independent meta package and not a specific version, but I have no idea how to do a more meaningful comparison ;)
