For us, the ROI was almost immediate. We saved several $100k in license costs alone. Overall, the manpower costs to support Postgres and Linux will depend on whether those skills already exist in your enterprise. If you plan to take a Postgres system live in production, I strongly encourage you to look into commercial support.

In our case, our ROI is very high, we do not pay for licensing, we use the community version of PostgreSQL and sometimes use companies that provide a hosted PostgreSQL.

In the cases I've seen ROI was very good and it touched visible aspects from reduced ETA of developed applications, to better performance, easier maintenance and faster support.

Since it's completely free, the ROI means only the time spent by the team to get the database up and running, and the time maintaining it. I'd say it doesn't compare with any other solution I've worked with before.

ROI is by far fair enough for startups and enterprise projects that are expecting a big grow in the mean time.

I saved money instead of using the Oracle solution, which might be more secure than PostgreSQL in various ways.

I recommend Linux installation, but it is also possible to use Windows. With PostgreSQL you don't have to pay much money which is a good advantage. You have to take into account that you will spent some time finding out how to implement something or what is the right tool you have to use.
