Is PostgreSQL supported on these UNIX platforms. When I go to www.postgresq=
l.org, I only see binary downloads for Linux and Win32. How about for these=
 other flavors of Unix? Thank you!

We only provide binaries for Linux and Win32, but other platforms are
supported in the source form. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/supported-platforms.html

PostgreSQL is bundled with Solaris 10 (update 2 and newer). There also
project on www.pgfoundry.org, but packages is not actual. You can also
use some alternative source - www.sunfreeware.com or www.blastwave.org.

If you look for pgAdmin community offers Solaris packages on their web page.

On the traditional commercial UNIX(tm) flavours, you'll need to build
it yourself.

It has tended to be the case that people prefer to do their own builds
on such platforms.  For instance, we have some custom C types in use,
on our AIX systems, so we *have* to do our own builds - using provided
binaries would be nearly useless to us.

You might take a look at the build farm <http://pgbuildfarm.org/> to
see what platforms are being supported...
