However the setup/configuration of postgreSQL compared to MySQL is

as on MySQL.
We're on a Fedora list here. Setting up PostgreSQL consists of doing yum
install postgresql-server, chkconfig postgresql on, service postgresql
start.
That will give you an installation with quite reasonable defaults
including Unix-socket connectivity.
Of course then you discover all the PHP toys written for MySQL which
can't be told to connect a) by Unix sockets and b) without a username
and password.
