Chew,

First off, this isn't the appropriate list. So if you have follow-up
questions, please post them to NOVICE or GENERAL.

All versions of PostgreSQL from the last 3 years are compatible with RedHat as
far as I know. However, 7.3.3 and 7.3.4 are "bug-fix" releases; they fix
security problems and a few other known issues. As such, 7.3.2 is not
recommended by *anyone* for *any OS*, becuase it has known sercurity, backup,
and recovery issue.
