why do people keep saying that mysql is easier to install and configure postgres? maybe you can find more results when googling for "mysql install" or something, but it's just a bit different, not harder. (...now, I don't even understand why mysql was even created in the first place when even back then there were other open source projects already closer to achieving performance on par with the commercial rdbmss...) EDIT - correction: sorry, swapped two words by mistake and ended up saing the opposite thing
