   3.6) What is the upgrade process for PostgreSQL?
 
-   PostgreSQL major releases include new features and occur roughly once
-   every year. A major release is numbered by increasing either the first
-   or second part of the version number, e.g. 8.1 to 8.2.
-   
-   Major releases usually change the internal format of system tables and
-   data files. These changes are often complex, so we don't maintain
-   backward compatibility for data files. A dump/reload of the database
-   is required for major upgrades.
-   
-   Minor releases are numbered by increasing the third part of the
-   version number, e.g. 8.1.5 to 8.1.6. The PostgreSQL team only adds bug
-   fixes to minor releases. All users should upgrade to the most recent
-   minor release as soon as possible. While upgrades always have some
-   risk, PostgreSQL minor releases fix only frequently-encountered,
-   security, and data corruption bugs to reduce the risk of upgrading.
-   The community considers not upgrading riskier than upgrading.
-   `
-   
-   Upgrading to a minor release does not does not require a dump and
-   restore; merely stop the database server, install the updated
-   binaries, and restart the server.
-   
-  3.7) What computer hardware should I use?
-  
-   Because PC hardware is mostly compatible, people tend to believe that
-   all PC hardware is of equal quality. It is not. ECC RAM, SCSI, and
-   quality motherboards are more reliable and have better performance
-   than less expensive hardware. PostgreSQL will run on almost any
-   hardware, but if reliability and performance are important it is wise
-   to research your hardware options thoroughly. Our email lists can be
-   used to discuss hardware options and tradeoffs.
