>1.1. Who should read this HOWTO</H2
|
|
><P
|
|
>This HOWTO is intended for anyone interested in installing and
|
|
using IBM DB2® Express-C 9 on a Linux® distribution. The goal is
|
|
to include as many distributions as possible, on both 32–bit and
|
|
64–bit architectures, however both hardware and time resources are
|
|
constrained, so if you come across a distribution/architecture combination
|
|
that isn't covered in here or if you encounter a problem that isn't
|
|
addressed, send a note to db2howto@gmail.com and I'll try to help verify or
|
|
resolve your issue and add the information here.</P

|
|
><P
|
|
>Ian Hakes, has worked for IBM DB2 since 1999. Currently,
|
|
he is involved in technical marketing for the DB2 Express-C product,
|
|
developing technical documentation and evangelizing DB2 Express-C.
|
|
Before that, he was the technical team lead for the DB2 Information
|
|
Development department, and the writer responsible for the DB2 SQL
|
|
Reference manual. His free time is spent mainly typing on computers,
|
|
thinking about how much nicer it would be to watch a movie or to be
|
|
sailing.</P
