Hi ketchup,

I’m a long-time BSD fanboy, but macports is too much hassle for a lot of users and I think the EnterpriseDB option removes some hurdles.

That alone might not be interesting, since there is a OSX port for PostgreSQL (I gather from your post), but it might give you a hive of more traditional Unix apps you might need for serious Unix development. Like Subversion (or Git): If it's out there as BSD port, it's probably out there as Mac port. (Once you have it installed, use the MacPorts Notifier to stay up to date, or at least keep an eye on outdated software.) Have fun, /ketchup/ Hey,
