  <title>Summary</title>

  <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 an 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>.
