There is *no* "Linux 7.3" or "Linux 8".

There are some distributions at release 7.3 and 8.0, though.

You should try to get help from that distribution support, or just try
to install it and resolve any dependencies that my rise.

As for Redhat Linux 8.0, there are enough jdks available and you can compile
apache+tomcat/jakarta for it. As for sybase, they should know it better than
I. :)

Best of luck,
