[postgis-users] Linux versions?

[alex bodnaru]

hi,

in our distribution, you can install multiple postgresql clusters, of
different versions, and postgis-0.9, aside postgis-1.0 to work at the
same time, so that you can do any experiment you wish.
also, you can create a template for postgis databases, so that not only
postgres can create databases.

you should take care for debian.
