If you are looking for boxes to run PostgreSQL, you may want to add
Ubuntu to your list. Ubuntu is free to use and supported, and commercial
support available too. We use PostgreSQL internally, including on a
monster box with 12GB of RAM, and have a vested interest in ensuring it
works well. http://www.ubuntulinux.org

If you need Java on the boxes running PostgreSQL, that will probably be
the decisive factor - Java licencing makes it difficult for free
distributions to provide easy installation and support.
