<para>
<productname>Postgres</productname>,
developed originally in the UC Berkeley Computer Science Department,
pioneered many of the object-relational concepts
now becoming available in some commercial databases.
It provides SQL92/SQL3 language support,
transaction integrity, and type extensibility.
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is a public-domain, open source descendant
of this original Berkeley code.

<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
This installation procedure makes some assumptions about the desired configuration
and runtime environment for your system. This may be adequate for many installations,
and is almost certainly adequate for a first installation. But you may want to
do an initial installation up to the point of unpacking the source tree
and installing documentation, and then print or browse the
<citetitle>Administrator's Guide</citetitle>.</para>
