To install latest version of postgresql we first we need to add pgdg repository to list of repositories open terminal and fire following commands, you need to be root.

wget http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/reporpms/8.4/pgdg-redhat-8.4-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uhv pgdg-redhat-8.4-1.noarch.rpm

Once repository is installed properly use yum to install postgresql as shown below

Eclipse latest version is Galileo and its not available from ubuntu archive I just finished installing it on my machine i thought I will share instructions with my readers.
So here we have a step by step instruction to install Eclipse Galileo (3.5) on Ubuntu mine is Hardy

Lets start with creating a directory where we want to install

mkdir /bin/ide

cd /bin/ide

you can manually download the installable from one of the available mirrors or you can use wget for same I prefer using wget

wget http://d2u376ub0heus3.cloudfront.net/galileo/eclipse-java-galileo-linux-gtk.tar.gz

than we need to unzip the contents of the zip file and we are almost done

tar xzvf eclipse-java-galileo-linux-gtk .tar.gz

You can set the eclipse executable to your path

PATH=$PATH:/bin/ide/eclipse

This is not the best way to do it but still does the job alternatively you can create a simple shell file and keep it in bin directory whcih just calls eclipse and you are good to go.
