Is PostgreSQL 9.0.x certified to run on RHEL 5.6? My platform is x86_64. I am installing from source, not the one-click installer at this time.
I appologize if this is a silly question in the world of PostgreSQL. I am predominately an Oracle guy, and as such I am used to waiting for the vendor to certify their product on every release of the operating system. I am not sure how this works with open source databases like PostgreSQL. I have read through the release notes and I don't see anything like a max supported version of the operating system.
Thanks in advance,
-Mark

If you are using Source Code, then you can compile and would be able to use PostgreSQL.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/supported-platforms.html

If you see any issue with PostgreSQL on Linux Platform (RHEL 5.6) then you are welcome to post your queries.

Thanks & Regards,
