Local base install

I'm finding the Drupal First Time User Guide pretty helpful.

Chose to get D7 up and running on my Fedora system, but since my organization has a strong preference for PostgreSQL over MySQL (partly due to the latter being owned by Oracle and partly due to replication options), I discovered some concerns from people about the D7-Postgres maturity level.  The Postgresql drupal group appears pretty dormant and the general Drupal Requirements page doesn't even list any version of postgres for D7..  But I decided try to get it up and running using Postgres 9.0.7, the latest version available in my distro's repos.  Found this guide particularly useful.

Considered the various Distribution Profiles, then decided to just go with the core installation instead, so I wouldn't be easily confused with what's core and what's a supplemental module.  Probably not a big deal of difference though.
