Most operating systems that use a package manager have at least 8.4:
* RedHat/CentOS/Fedora via http://www.pgrpms.org/
* Ubuntu 8.04 to current, may require enabling backports
* Debian Lenny via backports
* Mac OS X via fink, MacPorts
* Solaris ???
* Windows requires manual install/updates

Are there any particular OSs that don't have packages for at least 8.4?
