You really should look at updating to a later version of pgsql, and
ubuntu if you can manage it. pgsql 8.2 is EOL.

You shouldn't normally need to do a vacuum and especially vacuum full
unless autovacuum isn't doing it's job correctly. Note that earlier
versions of autovacuum were single threaded and tuned pretty
conservatively so that you could get into some trouble with table and
index bloat. Do you have any evidence that autovacuum isn't working
on this machine?
