As others have mentioned, a good way to go.

Ahhh... You might want to stay with the 7.3 series of PostgreSQL if you're 
installing from source.   At least for a little while.   I just got bitten 
by an apparent bug in the testing phase of 7.4 so that
./configure --blah, blah, blah is fine
make        is also fine but
make check     has issues with database initialisation and a few people 
have reported this to the pgsql developers.

HTH,
