Um ... I work for Red Hat, so I think I have to slip you the bad news
twice today: no sane person would still be running that OS version
either.  7.2 was obsolete about the time I went to work at Red Hat
(in 2001).

If you want something that was current last year and is probably pretty
stable now, PG 8.0.x on Fedora Core 4 would be a good bet.  Personally
I'd recommend PG 8.1.x on FC5 if you are just looking at deploying now.
It'll be much more maintainable a year or two out.
