I'm running OpenSuSE 11.0 and I have PostgreSQL 8.3.1 right from the installation DVD.
I know it isn't 8.3.3, but they couldn't package and test everything until the release date.
There are packagers for Fedora here... But I would rather compile PG myself than switch to Fedora just because of a PostgreSQL package.
Generating new RPMs / updating existing ones isn't so hard.
