PostgreSQL has been verified by the developer community to work on the platforms listed below. A supported platform generally means that PostgreSQL builds and installs according to these instructions and that the regression tests pass.
Note: If you are having problems with the installation on a supported platform, please write to <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> or <pgsql-ports@postgresql.org>, not to the people listed here.

Unsupported Platforms. The following platforms have not been verified to work. Platforms listed for version 6.3.x and later should also work with 7.1.2, but we did not receive explicit confirmation of such at the time this list was compiled. We include these here to let you know that these platforms could be supported if given some attention.
