Does Postgresql 7.1.x Still Have 8K Maximum Field Size?

Hello all.

I will be creating one of my first web applications and would like to use Postgresql as the database on a Red Hat 6.2
or7.1 system with Apache and either ColdFusion or PHP. 

Anyway, the application will have a text field where employees can update their progress on assigned tasks.  By the
timea task is completed, the field may exceed 8k.  I am not a person who likes to compile from tarball's because
trainingnon-Linux experienced fellow system administrators to use RPMs is enough.  Updates are easier as well. 

The question:  Is it possible to have a text field greater than 8k but only using RPMs -- not compiling and/or chaining
viaa separate table (breaking something into 8k chunks)?  If so, how? 

Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.  Thanks.
