Thanks Soroka. This is kind of what I was beginning to understand also. My issue here then would be how to get my data from using ArcMap over into a PostGIS database. I have my data in both an ESRI personal geodatabase and in .shp files using ArcMap.
I guess I am looking for the easy way out here because I am somewhat strapped for time right now.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Better understanding of how to get data into database
People use many different tools, but a large community has formed
around PostgreSQL / PostGIS. I have no numbers to rove this, but my
sense is that it's the most popular open-source solution for spatially-
enabled RDBMS work.

Hi all,
New here to GeoServer and fairly new to the GIS community itself. I
have been self taught on the basics of ESRI's ArcMap and personal
geodatabases. I have a bit of data in an ESRI personal ArcSDE
database that I would like to interface with geoserver. Is this
possible? Even if it is, should I find a different database setup to
be more friendly with the open source community>
I will still need to use ArcMap at work, but trying to learn more
ways of doing things other than ESRI's as I consider everything
tools for the toolbox and try to use what is best for the current
situation.
Thanks,
Robert
