[maemo-users] Postgress on my N900

[From: Francisco Diaz Trepat - gmail]

Thanks valeri, I actually think I saw a post somewhere which stated that
some guy had his webserver and postgres running on a pentium 2 with 512 of
RAM total, so I think I should be able to run it well.

In fact the server starts perfectly and very quickly, and also I have ran
the initdb and all perfectly fine.

The only thing I don't see is it actually listening on the port

but there is no error so it might be listening on some other port.
