No offense taken on my end. I don't think IBM will sanction running DB2 on TAO. IBM has a list somewhere (webpage) that states what the officially supported/sanctioned distros of Linux are. That's not to say that TAO won't be supported in the future. Will DB2 or other products run on TAO? Probably but you're on your own regarding support. Therefore, check with IBM. Steve G.

The very road you're treading down with DB2 is the EXACT reason why I'm investigating TAO. Does IBM sanction running DB2 on this release? Will companies expect vendors, like us, to support our DB2 tools on this release? These are the kinds of questions I'm asking myself and eventually will have to respond to from others. So, I have to decide whether or not to install TAO and experiment with it (which I will probably do). I certainly didn't mean to start a flaming war with this thread, nor was it my intent to insult the author or others.

Yes, TAO provides the image(s) to IPL it in VM. You need to upload the images to VM. I've already installed TAO a couple of weeks ago and am working on installing DB2.
