<para>Ian Hakes talked to Dan Scott about the DB2 For Linux HOWTO who allowed
|
|
him to take over the DB2 for Linux Howto, with basically a full re-write to
|
|
cover DB2's latest release V8.2 on up-to-date enterprise and personal Linux
|
|
distributions (RHEL 3, SLES 8, SLES 9, along with Red Hat 8, Fedora Core 2,
|
|
SuSE Pro 9.1, and possibly Mandrake 10, Gentoo and maybe even Debian). This
|
|
effort was started by another writer, Rory Hinton, who had to drop off the
|
|
project, so Ian would be taking primary responsibility for the document, which
|
|
is about 60% complete.</para>
