You might want to update your 7.4 install first.  it's pretty easy, no
dump reload.

if it's got a number with no letters it's stable.  The first two
digits = major version, last digit = update version.  latest there =
best.

www.postgresql.org ???

And I know nothing of sun db clusters and pgsql.

This topic has been addressed very recently, see this thread:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2008-02/msg00238.php
and there is also the general policy here:

Yeah - and from that thread there are still misleading
web pages out there to confuse non-native English speakers.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_chinese_trad.html#1.6

which apparently says that 8.2.3 is the latest, and

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_czech.html#item1.6

which apparently says 8.2.5 is the latest.

Seems the web site might want to use some macro for the
latest versions to keep the various FAQs up-to-date.
