Binaries vs Source

[Guido Barosio]

Binary package from www.postgresql.org   121   33.799%
Through operating system update tool 127 35.475%
~66%

Compile from source   98   27.374%

Hmmm, are we doing something with this information? I am not an expert
at all, but I reccon that these numbers are at least a surprise to me.

Joshua,

Oh.. actually I would find it very surprising if compile from source
won.

We certainly had more than 121 downloads ;-) These are people who voted
on the survey, if that wasn't clear....
