"http://www.julieandian.com/writing/82howto/db2LinuxHowToV8_definitive_5.pdf" target="_top">pdf version of this DB2 8.2 HOWTO</a> available. Ian says: This HOWTO is intended for anyone interested in
|
|
installing and using DB2 UDB on Linux. The information found in this document is based on the experience I had as an information developer at IBM installing and configuring DB2 UDB Version 8.2 on Red
|
|
Hat 8 and SuSE Pro 8 (DB2 supports way more distributions, and I hope to include more information on these distributions in the future).</span></li>

<p>John Buswell informs us about connectivity problems with the <a href="http://ldp.splicednetworks.com" target="_top">Athens, Ohio</a> mirror, because of a move they have done. Presumably, the
|
|
problems will be resolved by the second half of next month. Meanwhile, maybe it is best to switch to another <a href="http://tldp.org/mirrors.html#usa" target="_top">Ohio mirror</a> to be sure you
|
|
are reading the latest versions of our documents.</p>
|
|
<p>Thrassivoulos Kalantzis informed us about a change in the URL of his mirror, update your bookmarks to use <a href="http://ldp.gr-linux.net/" target="_top">http://ldp.gr-linux.net/</a> instead of
