Even if you aren't using Linux, take a minute and make your vote...we like
to see PostgreSQL on top, no? :)

You people are harsh *and* devious.

(Yes, I've now voted.  Solaris is kind of like Linux.  At least I use a
lot of GNUware.) It's now 28 to 35 out of 93 votes.

There are now 119 votes, and PostgreSQL is in first place!

Re: your mail
hi

	i'm not a Linux user, but an OpenBSD user.  recently Louis 
Bertrand posted some requests for assistance in getting ODBC support to 
work on the postgres port to openbsd.  i didn't see many responses to his 
requests, though I saw lots of discussions re: Linux problems.

	I'd like to use PostgreSQL, but it doesn't seem like there is 
much interest from this community in assisting an OpenBSD developer.  
I'll change databases before I change OS's.

	Sorry if this sounds like sour grapes, just call 'em like I see them

I'm not much into ODBC myself, so can't help much, but could you have
Louis repost his problem.  The problem is that the 'Linux community' makes
up a very very large chunk (sadly *grin*) of our user base...but not
necessarily a large chunk of the developers.

I don't know if there are any OpenBSD "developers" right now...I'm
FreeBSD, as I believe Vadim is, Bruce is BSD/OS, and Thomas is Linux...I
don't know what anyone else is...except D'Arcy, who's Net/BSD ... Vince, I
believe, is FreeBSD also ... so there is a pretty good proportion of *BSD
users out there, but I don't think any of us use ODBC vs 'straight
interfaces'...

Basically, if you are non-Linux in this world nowadays, you have to learn
to be a little more pushy to get your point across :(
