[Workshops] PostGIS installation on workshop machines

[mays at lat-lon.de]

Hello all,
I know that postgres 8.3 will not work for me, but 8.2.9 (or any 8.2.x)
will be perfect. For postgis I was told that 1.3 is fine, so I assume that
1.3.3 will be fine as well.

Is it settled then, that we use postgres/postgres as user and password?
Kind regards,
Judit
