Debian GNU/Linux works fine, and there's a .deb of PostgreSQL available in
Debian. 6.x is in potato, but the 7.0 version in woody works for me.
Others have had problems. Make sure you back up all your data _before_
doing any upgrades; the automatic upgrades have failed miserably for me more
than once. That said, Oliver Elphick, the package maintainer, does a
laudable job (in my view).

Yes. Check the README.Debian file that comes with your package (should be
under /usr/share/doc or /usr/doc, depending on which version of Debian
you're using). It works transparently, though.
One word of warning: if you go with the version from woody, and you want to
use PHP, you may have to do some compiling from source.
