I'm running OpenSuSE 11.0 and I have PostgreSQL 8.3.1 right from the installation DVD. I know it isn't 8.3.3, but they couldn't package and test everything until the release date. There are packagers for Fedora here... But I would rather compile PG myself than switch to Fedora just because of a PostgreSQL package. Generating new RPMs / updating existing ones isn't so hard. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
