+<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.

+<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>.
