[postgis-users] Linux versions?

[Darryl Watson]

Currently, I have PostGIS and PostgreSQL installed on a Windows server, 
which is annoying, because there are no command line utilities 
available.  So, since I don't have extra hardware for a Linux box, I 
want to install Linux in a VMWare virtual machine and run PostGIS from 
there.  (yeah, I know, I'd rather run Windows XP in the virtual machine, 
but the politics of my office won't allow that possibilty!)

Has anyone done this and run into problems with PostGIS and/or 
PostgreSQL?  If not, I'll let you know how it goes.

My primary question is what Linux distributions do I want to avoid, and 
which work easily with PostGIS?

My preferred distributions are Suse Linux 9.2, 9.3, Redhat Fedore Core 
4, or Red Hat Enterprise 4.  I don't care for Debian or Ubuntu.

Thanks!
