Dennis,

It was brought to my attention that you were actually using the community
postgresql RPM. This is the one that comes with the OS. What we call "Red Hat
Database" includes that, some GUI tools, a modified set of manuals etc.

You can download it from free. Check it out at:

http://www.redhat.com/software/database

and the project page has also some useful information:

http://sources.redhat.com/rhdb

And, of course, it is PostgreSQL after all, so the postgresql.org site and lists
will continue to be useful if you install that.

Best regards,
Fernando
