I am not a DB2 expert or an IBM employee so I can't guarantee that will be satisfactory. And by the way, why don't you try Fedora 11 ? Its rather neat :) Regards, -- Pai Thanks a lot for your suggestion but you don't understand why am i asking these question to you guys. Actually Red Hat does not support my lan card that is why i was asking for some other option. By the way i never addressed any one as a DB2 expert or an IBM employee. It was not mentioned any such kind of thing in prospectus that they gave me, that i will have to use any particular OS they just have mentioned that i would have to use LINUX and it was also not compulsory. I had just selected it because i didn't want to use Windows. By the way thanks again. reg rakesh ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Typically, such software support only the enterprise versions of Linux like RHEL and Novell SLES/SLED. They certify their software works on these platforms and their support is limited to those platforms. -- Arun Khan ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] Problem installing DB2 on linux
Hi Rakesh, Actually i already have DB2 dvd provided by IBM. Actually we are working on an IBM project, in which DB2 is necessary to use. When i open that dvd and I think you should ask IBM about what OS and version they want to support going forward. After all its their project. But from http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.uprun.doc/doc/r0025127.htm [snip] The supported operating systems for Linux include: * Novell Open Enterprise Server 9 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 and 5 * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9, 10, and 11 For application development and client access, the following environments can also be used: * Fedora Core 4 * Novell Linux Desktop 9 * SUSE Linux 10 and 11 [/snip] Regards, -- Pai ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
