I do agree and really like Centos but I don't want to have to have to
admin this box myself. Our network admin likes OpenSuse and doesn't want
to have to deal with anything else.
I tried Ubuntu server a while ago and was really not impressed. It was
lacking a lot of packages that I wanted but that was a while ago.
I guess it is compile from source. yeckkk.

I am setting up a new server and I am using OpenSuse. OpenSuse only has

live with the what is in the repositories for now?
If OpenSUSE only has 8.3.1 then I'd strongly advise either switching
to a distro that updates more often (Centos or Debian or Ubuntu) or
compiling from source. Because you're going to have this problem over
and over again if they can't get 8.3.3 packaged up and ready to go in
a reasonable amount of time.
I like Centos because you can use the RHEL rpms from the pgsql site
and they get updated pretty fast when a new version comes out.
