First of all, thank you all who have replied so far :)

The FC8 server has been upgraded to 8.2.13 with minor "glitches" :)
I'm one step shy of upgrading it to 8.3 :P
Btw: I'm using the http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/ repository as the source
for the upgrade.
After dumping the DB and stopping the server, should I remove all
PGSQL rpms via yum and then install the pgdg-fedora-8.3-6.noarch
<http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/reporpms/8.3/pgdg-fedora-8.3-6.noarch.rpm>
and continue on to the upgrade?

As far as the older FC6 server is concerned to my great frustration
this arch is EOL and there are no upgrade packages available... :-(
Perhaps someone is able to conjure up some sort of solution for this?

TY,
